Marine epibenthic dinoflagellates from Malaysia - a study of live cultures and preserved samples based on light and scanning electron microscopy

Marine epibenthic dinoflagellates have been collected from macroalgae, dead corals, seagrasses and sand in Malaysia and identified using light microscopy, including epifluorescence microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Examination of 62 samples revealed that Malaysia has rich diversity of be...
