Gyrodinium helveticum is a freshwater, unarmored dinoflagellate with a characteristic spiral groove dividing the cell into two unequal lobes. It inhabits freshwater lakes and ponds across temperate European and alpine regions, including Switzerland where it was first described. This mixotrophic protist performs photosynthesis and may also feed on other microorganisms.
