Peridinium is a genus of motile, marine and freshwater dinoflagellates.[1][2] Their morphology is considered typical of the armoured dinoflagellates, and their form is commonly used in diagrams of a dinoflagellate's structure.[1][3] Peridinium can range from 30 to 70 μm in diameter, and has very thick thecal plates.[1][3]
