Dinoflagellates. Dinoflagellates are the other primary form of large phytoplankton with about 2,000 species. Unlike diatoms, dinoflagellates are mobile through the use of a flagella. Also unlike diatoms, they do not have an external skeleton made of silica, however they are protected by cellulose.arine algae (seaweeds and phytoplankton) are a loose group of some of the simplest organisms that contain chlorophyll (like plants) but include members of both the Empires Prokaryota (Kingdom Bacteria-e.g., cyanobacteria) and Eukaryota (Kingdoms Chromista, Plantae and Protozoa...).

They are also of interest to nanotechnology.iatoms (Greek: dia = through + temnein = to cut: cut through) are a big group of eukaryotic algae. They are one of the most common types of phyto plankton.
