Some species are endosymbionts of marine animals and play an important part in the biology of coral reefs. Other dinoflagellates are colorless predators on other protozoa, and a few forms are parasitic (see for example Oodinium, Pfiesteria).Some dinoflagellates produce resting stages, called dinoflagellate cysts or dinocysts, as part of their life cycles.Dinoflagellates are considered to be protists, with their own division, Dinoflagellata.ost photosynthetic species contain chlorophylls a and c2, the carotenoid beta-carotene, and a group of xanthophylls that appears to be unique to dinoflagellates, typically peridinin, dinoxanthin, and diadinoxanthin. These pigments give many dinoflagellates their typical goldenbrown color.
Dinoflagellates are protists which have been classified using both the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), approximately half living dinoflagellate species are autotrophs possessing chloroplasts and half are non-photosynthesising heterotrophs. Light sensitive organelles, the eyespot and more complex ocellus. 2  Chloroplasts bounded by three rather than the usual two membranes, which has led to suggestions that the chloroplasts in dinoflagellates were originally symbiotic algae.
