The Syndiniales are an order of early branching dinoflagellates (also known as Marine Alveolates, "MALVs"), found exclusively as endosymbionts of crustaceans, fish, algae, and protists (ciliates, radiolarians, other dinoflagellates).[1] The trophic form is often multinucleate, and ultimately divides to form motile spores, which have two flagella in typical dinoflagellate arrangement. They lack a theca and chloroplasts, and unlike all other orders, the nucleus is never a dinokaryon. A well-studied example is Amoebophrya, which is a parasite of other dinoflagellates and may play a part in ending red tides. Several MALV groups have been assigned to Syndiniales[2]. Their phylogeny is debated but recent studies favor paraphyly of MALVs suggesting that not all of these groups are affiliated to Syndiniales.
