ABSTRACT
The genus Protoperidinium is an assemblage of heterotrophic dinoflagellates, several species of which have been successfully cultured in the past using various photosynthetic algae as a food source. We succeeded in culturing Protoperidinium crassipes (Kof.) Balech on three separate occasions for periods ranging from 2 to 21 months using rice flour as a food source. In these cultures, unusual small types of cells that were never observed to actively feed sometimes appeared. We confirmed that P. crassipes in culture exhibited bioluminescence.
