Recently many studies suggest that dinoflagellates have proton-pumping rhodopsins.In this study, we used PCR and metatranscriptomics to test the samples (size 3 to 200 um) from the Taiwan Strait and South China sea .The results show that the rhodopsins are highly abundant. This suggest that the rhodopsins may play an important role in the energy circulation of dinoflagellates, even can provide a more favorable conditions for dinoflagellates in extreme environment.
