What are dinoflagellates? ... Dinoflagellates are microscopic, (usually) unicellular, flagellated, often photosynthetic protists, commonly regarded as "algae" (Division Dinoflagellata).

Note that dinoflagellates are older than dinosaurs and they probably occurred, in evolution, before the first eukaryotes. Some theories propose that they are an association of an algae and a bacteria.
