Karlodinium armiger is a species of dinoflagellates belonging to the family Kareniaceae.[1] It was first isolated from the Mediterranean sea & described in 2006.[2][3]
It is a producer of karmitoxin, a toxin structurally related to amphidinols and karlotoxins; however karmitoxin also contains the longest carbon−carbon backbone known for this compound class, and an unusual primary amino group.[4]
It has a spherical shape with a diameter of about 15 μm.[5] Under optimal conditions with supplemented NH4+, it has a division rate of ~0.3 times per day.[4]
