Peridiniopsis polonicum (Wolosz.) Bourrelly requires vitamin B 12 , and Peridinium limbatum (Stokes) Lemm. requires thiamin for growth. Unlike marine Peridinium species, Peridinium willei Huit.‐Kaas, P. volzii Lemm., and P. inconspicuum Lemm. do not display auxotrophy. Peridinium volzii is strongly inhibited by concentrations of biotin above 1 μg L −1 .
