Karlodinium veneficum: growth optimization, metabolite characterization and biotechnological potential survey.

This work provides fundamental insights about growth and potential of value added-compounds of dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum. Dinoflagellates, as Karlodinium veneficum are poorly studied regarding its biomass production and added-value compounds for potential biotechnological exploitation. These organisms are difficult to maintain and grow in laboratory. Thus, any fundamental contribution is relevant to share with the scientific community.
