Abstract
Dinoflagellates and heterotrophic bacteria are two major micro-organism groups within marine ecosystems. Their coexistence has led to a co-evolutionary relationship characterized by intricate interactions that not only alter their individual behaviors but also exert a significant influence on the broader biogeochemical cycles. Our review commenced with an analysis of bacterial populations, both free-living and adherent to dinoflagellate surfaces. Members of Alphaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, and the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides group are repeatedly found to be associated with dinoflagellates, with representation by relatively few genera, such as Methylophaga, Marinobacter, and Alteromonas. These bacterial taxa engage with dinoflagellates in a limited capacity, involving nutrient exchange, the secretion of pathogenic substances, or participation in chemical production. Furthermore, the genomic evolution of dinoflagellates has been profoundly impacted by the horizontal gene transfer from bacteria. The integration of bacterial genes into dinoflagellates has been instrumental in defining their biological characteristics and nutritional strategies. This review aims to elucidate the nuanced interactions between dinoflagellates and their associated bacteria, offering a detailed perspective on their complex relationship.

Mohammed V, Arockiaraj J. Unveiling the trifecta of cyanobacterial quorum sensing: LuxI, LuxR and LuxS as the intricate machinery for harmful algal bloom formation in freshwater ecosystems. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 924:171644. [PMID: 38471587 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are causing significant disruptions in freshwater ecosystems, primarily due to the proliferation of cyanobacteria. These blooms have a widespread impact on various lakes globally, leading to profound environmental and health consequences. Cyanobacteria, with their ability to produce diverse toxins, pose a particular concern as they negatively affect the well-being of humans and animals, exacerbating the situation. Notably, cyanobacteria utilize quorum sensing (QS) as a complex communication mechanism that facilitates coordinated growth and toxin production. QS plays a critical role in regulating the dynamics of HABs. However, recent advances in control and mitigation strategies have shown promising results in effectively managing and reducing the occurrence of HABs. This comprehensive review explores the intricate aspects of cyanobacteria development in freshwater ecosystems, explicitly focusing on deciphering the signaling molecules associated with QS and their corresponding genes. Furthermore, a concise overview of diverse measures implemented to efficiently control and mitigate the spread of these bacteria will be provided, shedding light on the ongoing global efforts to address this urgent environmental issue. By deepening our understanding of the mechanisms driving cyanobacteria growth and developing targeted control strategies, we hope to safeguard freshwater ecosystems and protect the health of humans and animals from the detrimental impacts of HABs.

Abstract
Algicidal bacteria exhibit promising potential against harmful algal blooms (HABs); however, their application has been limited due to their limited algicidal activity. This study demonstrates the enhanced algicidal activity of Alteromonas sp. FDHY-CJ bacteria against harmful Skeletonema costatum using a 5 L fermenter. Utilizing this refined framework increased the OD600 value and algal cell mortality by 6.50 and 2.88 times, respectively, compared to non-optimized culture cultivated in a flask using marine broth 2216E medium. The mechanism of action involves significant inhibition of algal photosynthetic efficiency with concurrent degradation of photosynthetic pigments. Relative to the non-optimized group, the optimized bacterial treatment led to a significant increase in H2O2 and MDA (malondialdehyde) by 19.54 and 4.22-fold, respectively, and resulted in membrane damage. The culture optimization procedure yielded effectual algicidal substances capable of considerably reducing the severity of S. costatum HABs through cell membrane disruption.

Abstract
Diatoms are globally abundant microalgae that form extensive blooms in aquatic ecosystems. Certain bacteria behave antagonistically towards diatoms, killing or inhibiting their growth. Despite their crucial implications to diatom blooms and population health, knowledge of diatom antagonists in the environment is fundamentally lacking. We report systematic characterisation of the diversity and seasonal dynamics of bacterial antagonists of diatoms via plaque assay sampling in the Western English Channel (WEC), where diatoms frequently bloom. Unexpectedly, peaks in detection did not occur during characteristic spring diatom blooms, but coincided with a winter bloom of Coscinodiscus, suggesting that these bacteria likely influence distinct diatom host populations. We isolated multiple bacterial antagonists, spanning 4 classes and 10 bacterial orders. Notably, a diatom attaching Roseobacter Ponticoccus alexandrii was isolated multiple times, indicative of a persistent environmental presence. Moreover, many isolates had no prior reports of antagonistic activity towards diatoms. We verified diatom growth inhibitory effects of eight isolates. In all cases tested, these effects were activated by pre-exposure to diatom organic matter. Discovery of widespread 'cryptic' antagonistic activity indicates that bacterial pathogenicity towards diatoms is more prevalent than previously recognised. Finally, examination of the global biogeography of WEC antagonists revealed co-occurrence patterns with diatom host populations in marine waters globally.

Abstract
Extensive growth of microscopic algae and cyanobacteria results in harmful algal blooms (HABs) in marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. HABs can harm humans and animals through their toxicity or by producing ecological conditions such as oxygen depletion, which can kill fish and other economically or ecologically important organisms. This review summarizes the reports on various HABs that are able to bring about marine fish kills. The predominant HABs, their toxins, and their effects on fishes spread across various parts of the globe are discussed. The mechanism of HAB-driven fish kills is discussed based on the available reports, and existing mitigation methods are presented. Lapses in the large-scale implementation of mitigation methods demonstrated under laboratory conditions are projected. Clay-related technologies and nano-sorption-based nanotechnologies, although proven to make significant contributions, have not been put to use in real-world conditions. The gaps in the technology transfer of the accomplished mitigation prototypes are highlighted. Further uses of remote sensing and machine learning state-of-the-art techniques for the detection and identification of HABs are recommended.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 263:115369.

Abstract
Free-living Symbiodinium, which forms symbiotic relationships with many marine invertebrates, plays an important role in the vast ocean. Nutrient levels have been shown to significantly impact microbial community structure and regulate algal communities. In this study, the bacterial community structure within the phycosphere of free-living Symbiodinium underwent significant changes in response to nutrient stimulation. Alteromonas exhibited dominance in Zobell 2216E broth nutrient stimulation concomitant with the demise of algal cells. Alteromonas abrolhosensis JY-JZ1, a marine bacterium isolated from the phycosphere of Symbiodinium, demonstrated an algicidal effect on Symbiodinium cells. Optical and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the algal cell membrane structure was disrupted, leading to intracellular leakage. Strain JY-JZ1 exerted its cytotoxicity by producing and secreting bioactive compounds into the supernatant. The marked declines in the chlorophyll a content, photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) and the electron transport rate (rETR) indicated that the photosynthetic system of Symbiodinium was damaged by JY-JZ1 supernatant. The observed elevation in levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) content suggested that the algal cells experienced oxidative stress. Moreover, the supernatant exhibited remarkable adaptability to temperature and pH. Additionally, it displayed exceptional algicidal efficacy against various harmful algae species. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first successful isolation of an algicidal bacterial strain from the phycosphere of free-living Symbiodinium and subsequent investigation into its mechanism for controlling Symbiodinium growth, thereby providing novel insights into algae-bacteria interactions. The remarkable algicidal efficacy exhibited by strain JY-JZ1 against other harmful algae species suggests its significant potential for harmful algal blooms (HABs) control.

Abstract
Linoleic acid (LA) shows great potential in inhibiting the growth of multiple red tide microalgae by disturbing algal physio-biochemical processes. However, our knowledge on the mechanisms of algal mortality at metabolic level remains limited. Herein, the response of K. mikimotoi to LA was evaluated using metabolomics, stable isotope techniques (SIT), and physiological indicators. Results showed that 100 μg/L LA promoted the growth of K. mikimotoi, which was significantly inhibited by 500 μg/L LA, along with a significant reduction of photosynthetic pigments and a significant increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS). SIT showed that LA entered algal cells, and 56 isotopologues involved in ferroptosis, carotenoid biosynthesis, and porphyrin metabolism were identified. Non-targeted metabolomics identified 90 and 111 differential metabolites (DEMs) belonging to 11 metabolic pathways under the 500 μg/L and 100 μg/L LA exposure, respectively. Among them, 34 DEMs were detected by SIT. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that 500 μg/L LA significantly promoted ferroptosis, and significantly inhibited carotenoid biosynthesis, porphyrin metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, presenting changes opposite to those observed in 100 μg/L LA-treated K. mikimotoi. Overall, this study revealed the metabolic response of K. mikimotoi to LA, enriching our understanding on the allelochemical mechanism of LA on K. mikimotoi.

Abstract
The dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans is a harmful algal species that is globally distributed and poses a certain threat to marine ecosystems. Recent research has shown that the application of algicidal bacteria is a promising method to prevent and control such harmful algal blooms (HABs), given its advantages of safety and efficiency. In this study, a strain of algicidal bacterium LD-B6 with high efficiency against N. scintillans was isolated from the coastal waters of Lianyungang, China. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that the strain LD-B6 belongs to the genus Pseudoalteromonas. Furthermore, the algicidal effect of LD-B6 on N. scintillans was investigated. The results showed that strain LD-B6 exerted strong algicidal activity against N. scintillans. After 12 h of bacterial culture addition to algal cultures at a 2% final volume rate, the algicidal activity reached 90.5%, and the algicidal activity of LD-B6 was influenced by the density of N. scintillans. In addition, the algicidal bacterium LD-B6 was found to indirectly lyse algal cells by secreting extracellular compounds. These algicidal compounds were stable, indicating that they are not proteins. Importantly, strain LD-B6 was broadly general, showing varying degrees of lysing effects against five of the six algal species tested. On the basis of the described studies above, the algicidal powder was also initially developed. In summary, the isolated bacterial strain LD-B6 shows the potent algicidal capability to serve as a candidate algicidal bacterium against N. scintillans blooms.

Abstract
The toxic dinoflagellate Karenia mikimotoi is a harmful algal bloom-forming species in coastal areas around the world. It produces ichthyotoxins and hemolytic toxins, with deleterious effects on marine ecosystems. In this study, the bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. FDHY-MZ2, with high algicidal efficiency against K. mikimotoi, was isolated from a bloom event. Based on the results, it completely lysed K. mikimotoi cells within 24 h 0.5% (vol/vol), with the algicidal activity of the supernatant of the bacterium culture. Algal cell wall fragmentation occurred, leading to cell death. There was a marked decline in various photochemical traits. When treated with the supernatant, cellulase, pheophorbide a oxygenase (PAO) and cyclin B genes were significantly increased, suggesting induced cell wall deterioration, chloroplast degradation and cell cycle regulation of K. mikimotoi cells. In addition, the expression levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging gene was significantly inhibited, indicating that the ROS removal system was damaged. The bacterial culture was dried to obtain the spray-dried powder, which showed algicidal activity rates of 92.2 and 100% against a laboratory K. mikimotoi culture and a field microcosm of Karlodinium sp. bloom within 24 h with the addition of 0.04% mass fraction powder. Our results demonstrate that FDHY-MZ2 is a suitable strain for K. mikimotoi and Karlodinium sp. blooms management. In addition, this study provides a new strategy for the anthropogenic control of harmful algal bloom-forming species in situ. IMPORTANCE K. mikimotoi is a noxious algal bloom-forming species that cause damaging of the aquaculture industry and great financial losses. Bacterium with algicidal activity is an ideal agency to inhibit the growth of harmful algae. In this approach application, the bacterium with high algicidal activity is required and the final management material is ideal for easy-to-use. The algicidal characteristics are also needed to understand the effects of the bacterium for managing strategy exploration. In this study, we isolated a novel algicidal bacterium with extremely high lysis efficiency for K. mikimotoi. The algicidal characteristics of the bacterium as well as the chemical and molecular response of K. mikimotoi with the strain challenge were examined. Finally, the algicidal powder was explored for application. The results demonstrate that FDHY-MZ2 is suitable for K. mikimotoi and Karlodinium sp. blooms controlling, and this study provides a new strategy for algicidal bacterium application.

Oxidative stress of Microcystis aeruginosa induced by algicidal bacterium Stenotrophomonas sp. KT48. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:4329-4340. [PMID: 35604440 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11959-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms are a worldwide problem with substantial adverse effects on the aquatic environment as well as human health. Among the multiple physicochemical and biotic approaches, algicidal bacterium is one of the most promising and eco-friendly ways to control bloom expansion. In this study, Stenotrophomonas sp. KT48 isolated from the pond where cyanobacterial blooms occurred exhibited a strong inhibitory effect on Microcystis aeruginosa. However, the algicidal performance and mechanisms of Stenotrophomonas sp. remain under-documented. To explore the algicidal performance and physiological response againt M. aeruginosa, further works were implemented here. Our results indicated that the algicidal rate of strain KT48 cultured in 1/8 LB medium supplemented with 0.3% starch or glucose was about 30% higher than that in 1/8 LB medium. Strain KT48 culture, cell-free filtrate, and cells re-suspended were inoculated into the M. aeruginosa culture, and the Chl-a content was determined. Those results indicated that the algicidal activity of cells re-suspended was far higher than that of cell-free filtrate and culture. Thus, strain KT48 exhibited algicidal activity mainly through direct attacking M. aeruginosa rather than excretion of algicides. Furthermore, strain KT48 led to an increase in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caused lipid peroxidation as supported by the increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The ROS and MDA levels in algal cells treated with strain KT48 cells re-suspended were about 3.23-fold and 2.80-fold higher than those of untreated algal cells on day 11. And a further inhibition to the antioxidant system is suggested by a sharp decrease in the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) activities. In addition, we also observed that the morphology of most algal cells changed from integrity to break. This study not only indicated strain KT48 with strong algicidal activity, but also explored the underlying algicidal mechanisms to provide a source of bacterial agent for the biocontrol of cyanobacterial blooms. KEY POINTS: • Strain KT48 exhibited strong algicidal activity mainly through direct attacking M. aeruginosa. • The addition of glucose could enhance the algicidal rate of strain KT48 by about 30%. • Strain KT48 led to an increase in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level that causes membrane damage as supported by the increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.

Algicidal Properties of Microbial Fermentation Products on Inhibiting the Growth of Harmful Dinoflagellate Species. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
The fermentation processes of algicidal bacteria offer an eco-friendly and promising approach for controlling harmful algae blooms (HABs). The strain Ba3, previously isolated and identified as Bacillus sp., displays robust algicidal activity against HABs dinoflagellate in particular. Microbial fermentation products have also been found to provide metabolites with multiple bioactivities, which has been shown to reduce harmful algae species’ vegetative cells and thus reduce red tide outbreaks. In this study, the microbial fermentation of algicidal bacterium Ba3 was analyzed for its potential ability of algicidal compounds. A treatment time increased the algicidal efficiency of the fermentation products against Prorocentrum donghaiense (91%) and Alexandrium tamarense (82%). Among the treatment groups, the changing trend for the 2% treatment group was faster than that for the other treatments, showing that the inhibition rate could reach 99.1% in two days. Active components were separated by organic solvent extraction and macroporous resin, and the molecular weight of the active components was analyzed by LC-MS. The result shows that the microbial fermentation products offer a potential, not practical use for controlling the outbreaks of dinoflagellate blooms. As a result of its potential application for inhibiting HABs, these findings provide an encouraging basis for promoting large-scale fermentation production and the controlling the outbreaks of red tide.

Abstract
Interactions between bacteria and phytoplankton in aqueous ecosystems are both complex and dynamic, with associations that range from mutualism to parasitism. This review focuses on algicidal interactions, in which bacteria are capable of controlling algal growth through physical association or the production of algicidal compounds. While there is some evidence for bacterial control of algal growth in the field, our understanding of these interactions is largely based on laboratory culture experiments. Here, the range of these algicidal interactions is discussed, including specificity of bacterial control, mechanisms for activity, and insights into the chemical and biochemical analysis of these interactions. The development of algicidal bacteria or compounds derived from bacteria for control of harmful algal blooms is reviewed with a focus on environmentally friendly or sustainable methods of application. Potential avenues for future research and further development and application of bacterial algicides for the control of algal blooms are presented.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are detrimental to aquatic ecosystems; thus, economical and practical HAB control methods are needed. We analyzed a microbial community closely related to the alga Karenia mikimotoi, which has HABs that can be toxic to aquatic environments. We studied the relationship between algicidal bacteria and the microbial community of K. mikimotoi culture using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. Bacterial strains Marinobacter sp. (O-7) and Pseudomonas sp. (D-2) were isolated from a K. mikimotoi seawater culture containing a mixed microbial community and determined to have algicidal activity. Both strains produced alga-lysing substances that were toxic to K. mikimotoi. The algicidal extracellular substances produced by D-2 were stable at temperatures ranging from - 80 to 120 °C but sensitive to strong acidic/alkaline conditions. The substances produced by O-7 were inactivated at high temperatures and strong alkaline conditions. Extracellular substances produced by O-7 and D-2 caused K. mikimotoi and Prorocentrum donghaiense cell lysis, but no changes or inhibitory effects occurred in two other chlorophyta groups. O-7 and D-2 exhibited significantly greater algicidal activity during the logarithmic growth phase of K. mikimotoi growth compared to the stationary phase. Culture-independent analysis of the microbial community in association with K. mikimotoi was made using Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Proteobacteria was the dominant bacterial population in the phycosphere of K. mikimotoi, containing Marinobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp.. The Marinobacter was abundant and accounted for 5.3% of the total. Our results indicate that certain bacterial species from K. mikimotoi culture might be effective for removal of HABs.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms caused by Karenia mikimotoi frequently occur worldwide and severely threaten the marine environment. In this study, the biochemical and physiological responses of K. mikimotoi to the algicidal bacterium Paracoccus homiensis O-4 were investigated, and the effects on the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde content, multiple antioxidant systems and metabolites, photosynthetic pigments, and photosynthetic index were examined. The cell-free supernatant in strain O-4 significantly inhibited K. mikimotoi cell growth. The bacterium caused the K. mikimotoi cells to activate their antioxidant defenses to mitigate ROS, and this effect was accompanied by the upregulation of intracellular antioxidant enzymes and non-enzyme systems. However, the overproduction of ROS induced lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage within K. mikimotoi cells, ultimately leading to algal death. In addition, the photosynthetic efficiency of the algal cells was significantly inhibited by O-4 and was accompanied by a reduction in photosynthetic pigments. This study indicates that O-4 inhibits K. mikimotoi through excessive oxidative stress and impaired photosynthesis. This research into the biochemical and physiological responses of K. mikimotoi to algicidal bacteria provides insights into the prophylaxis and control of harmful algal blooms via interactions between harmful algae and algicidal bacteria.

Abstract
Alexandrium catenella (A. catenella) is a notorious algal species known to cause paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in Korean coastal waters. There have been numerous studies on its temporal and spatial blooms in Korea. However, its bloom dynamics have not been fully understood because of the complexity in physical, chemical, and biological environments. This study aims to identify the factors that influence A. catenella blooms by applying a numerical model and machine learning. Intensive monitoring of A. catenella was conducted to investigate temporal variations in its population and its spatial distribution in the area with frequent occurrences of PSP bloom initiation. Moreover, a numerical model was built to analyze the ocean physical factors related to the bloom of A. catenella. Based on the information obtained from the monitored and simulated results, the decision tree (DT) method was applied to identify factors that caused the bloom. The outbreak of A. catenella was observed in the eastern coastal water of Geoje Island in 2017, recording a peak density of 4 × 104 (cell L-1). Retention time and particle scattering demonstrated that the physical force in 2017 was weaker than that in 2018, as shown by the smaller effects of advection and dispersion in 2017. The decision tree model showed that (1) water temperature below 17.21 °C was ideal for the growth of A. catenella, (2) phosphate influenced the growth of the species, and (3) cell density was accelerated with increasing retention time. The results from DT can contribute to the prediction of A. catenella blooms by determining the conditions that cause bloom initiation. Further, they can be used as a practical approach for mitigating HABs. Thus, machine learning and numerical simulation in this study can be a potential approach for effectively managing the bloom of A. catenella.

Abstract
High biomasses of the marine dinoflagellate Lepidodinium chlorophorum cause green seawater discolorations along Southern Brittany (NE Atlantic, France). The viscosity associated to these phenomena has been related to problems in oyster cultivation. The harmful effect of L. chlorophorum might originate from the secretion of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS). To understand whether the EPS are produced by L. chlorophorum or its associated bacteria, or if they are a product of their interaction, batch cultures were performed under non-axenic and pseudo-axenic conditions for three strains. Maximum dinoflagellate cell abundances were observed in pseudo-axenic cultures. The non-sinking fraction of polymers (Soluble Extracellular Polymers, SEP), mainly composed of proteins and the exopolysaccharide sulphated galactan, slightly increased in pseudo-axenic cultures. The amount of Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) per cell increased under non-axenic conditions. Despite the high concentrations of Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) measured, viscosity did not vary. These results suggest that the L. chlorophorum-bacteria interaction could have a detrimental consequence on the dinoflagellate, translating in a negative effect on L. chlorophorum growth, as well as EPS overproduction by the dinoflagellate, at concentrations that should not affect seawater viscosity.

Abstract
Over the last decades, Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms (HCBs) represent one of the most conspicuous hazards to human health in freshwater ecosystems, due to the uses of the water for drinking, recreation and aquaculture. Cyanobacteria are one of the main biological components in freshwater ecosystems and they may proliferate in nutrients rich ecosystems causing severe impacts at different levels. Therefore, several methods have been applied to control cyanobacterial proliferation, including physical, chemical and biological strategies. However, the application of those methods is generally not very efficient. Research on an eco-friendly alternative leading to the isolation of new bioactive compounds with strong impacts against harmful cyanobacteria is a need in the field of water environment protection. Thus, this paper aims to give an overview of harmful cyanobacterial blooms and reviews the state of the art of studying the activities of biological compounds obtained from plants, seaweeds and microorganisms in the cyanobacterial bloom control.

Abstract
Sulfitobacter porphyrae ZFX1, isolated from surface seawater of the East China Sea during a Prorocentrum donghaiense bloom recession, exhibits high algicidal activity against P. donghaiense. To evaluate the algicidal effect of ZFX1, the algicidal mode and stability were investigated. The results showed that ZFX1 indirectly attacked algae by secreting algicidal compounds, and the algicidal activity of the ZFX1 supernatant was insensitive to different temperatures, light intensities and pH values (pH 3-12). To explore the algicidal mechanism of the ZFX1 supernatant, its effects on the morphological and ultrastructural alterations, photosynthetic capacity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidative system of P. donghaiense were investigated. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the ZFX1 supernatant destroyed the algal cell membrane structure and caused intracellular leakage. The decrease in the chlorophyll a content and the marked declines in both the photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) and the electron transport rate (rETR) indicated that the ZFX1 supernatant could damage the photosynthetic system of P. donghaiense. The excessive production of ROS in algal cells demonstrated the oxidative damage triggered by the ZFX1 supernatant. Although the antioxidant defense system of P. donghaiense was activated to scavenge excessive ROS, lipid oxidation occurred. The fatty acid composition profile indicated that the ZFX1 supernatant markedly increased the contents of two saturated fatty acids and a monounsaturated fatty acid and decreased the proportion of two polyunsaturated fatty acids, which resulted in lipids with a lower degree of unsaturation (DU). The decline in the DU decreased the lipid fluidity and rigidified the membrane system, and these effects destroyed the function of the membrane system and ultimately resulted in algal cell death. Therefore, ZFX1 probably plays a key role in mitigating P. donghaiense bloom by inducing lipid oxidation, decreasing the DU of lipids and ultimately destroying the membrane systems of algal cells.

Abstract
Karenia mikimotoi is a worldwide bloom-forming dinoflagellate in the genus Karenia. Blooms of this alga have been observed since the 1930s and have caused mass mortalities of fish, shellfish, and other invertebrates in the coastal waters of many countries, including Japan, Norway, Ireland, and New Zealand. This species has frequently bloomed in China, causing great financial losses (more than 2 billion yuan, Fujian Province, 2012). K. mikimotoi can adapt to various light, temperature, salinity, and nutrient conditions, which together with its complex life history, strong motility, and density-dependent allelopathy, allows it to form blooms that are lethal to almost all marine organisms. However, its toxicity differs between subspecies and some target-species-specific toxicity has also been recorded. Significant gill disorder is observed in affected fish, to which the massive fish kills are attributed, rather than to the hypoxia that occurs in the fading stage of a bloom. However, although this species is haemolytic and cytotoxic, and generates reactive oxygen species, none of the isolated toxins or lipophilic extracts have toxic effects as extreme as those of the intact algal cells. The toxic effects of K. mikimotoi are strongly related to contact with intact cells. Several reasonable hypotheses of how and why this species blooms and causes mass mortalities have been proposed, but further research is required.

Abstract
The relationship between algicidal bacteria and harmful-algal-bloom-forming dinoflagellates is understudied and their action modes are largely uncharacterized. In this study, an algicidal bacterium (FDHY-03) was isolated from a bloom of Prorocentrum donghaiense and the characteristics of its action against P. donghaiense was investigated at physiological, molecular, biochemical and cytological levels. 16S rDNA sequence analysis placed this strain in the genus of Alteromonas in the subclass of γ-proteobacteria. Algicidal activity was detected in the bacterial filtrate, suggesting a secreted algicidal principle from this bacterium. Strain FDHY-03 showed algicidal activity on a broad range of HAB-forming species, but the greatest effect was found on P. donghaiense, which showed 91.7% mortality in 24 h of challenge. Scanning electron microscopic analysis indicated that the megacytic growth zone of P. donghaiense cells was the major target of the algicidal action of FDHY-03. When treated with FDHY-03 culture filtrate, P. donghaiense cell wall polysaccharides decreased steadily, suggesting that the algicidal activity occurred through the digestion of cell wall polysaccharides. To verify this proposition, the expression profile of beta-glucosidase gene in FDHY-03 cultures with or without P. donghaiense cell addition was investigated using reverse-transcription quantitative PCR. The gene expression level increased in the presence of P. donghaiense cells, indicative of beta-glucosidase induction by P. donghaiense and the enzyme's role in this dinoflagellate's demise. This study has isolated a new bacterial strain with a strong algicidal capability, documented its action mode and biochemical mechanism, providing a potential source of bacterial agent to control P. donghaiense blooms.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) induced by Prorocentrum donghaiense occur frequently and cause a serious threat to the marine ecosystem. In this study, antialgal effects of α-linolenic acid (ALA) that is generally extracted from diverse macroalga on P. donghaiense were investigated. Specifically, the growth, cellular morphology and ultrastructure, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cytochrome C (Cyt-C), and caspase-9,3 activity of untreated and treated P. donghaiense were investigated. The results showed that ALA significantly inhibited the growth of P. donghaiense. Under ALA exposure, the cellular morphology and ultrastructure were damaged. ALA also induced ROS overproduction in the algal cells, decreased MMP, induced Cyt-C release, and activated caspase-9,3, which strongly relates to algal apoptosis. In summary, this study revealed the responses of morphology and physiology of P. donghaiense when exposed under ALA, and shows the potential of biotechnology on controlling P. donghaiense.

Abstract
Algicidal bacteria associated with Karenia mikimotoi have been isolated, yet the distribution of the algicidal bacteria has been rarely studied. Here, we postulated and demonstrated that terrestrial environment harbors diverse algicidal bacteria, which can survive in seawater along water flowing into marine and suppress Karenia mikimotoi. In summary, 9 and 5 bacteria with algicidal activity on Karenia mikimotoi were isolated from seawater and estuarine soil, respectively. Similar with the marine bacteria (Alteromonas sp., Halomonas sp., Marinobacter sp., Paracoccus sp., Rhodobacteraceae, Idiomarina sp.), the soil strains (Pseudoalteromonas sp. and Flavobaterium sp.) showed high mortality in Karenia mikimotoi with the inhibitory rate of 87% and 93.5%, respectively, after two days co-cultivation. Algicidal activity of the two strains was detected in the cell-free filtrate not in bacterial cells. The results suggest that algicidal bacteria associated with Karenia mikimotoi widely exist in terrestrial and marine environments, and have application potential on controlling Karenia mikimotoi.

Abstract
In both freshwater and marine ecosystems, phytoplankton are the most dominant primary producers, contributing substantially to aquatic food webs. Algicidal bacteria that can associate to microalgae from the phytoplankton have the capability to control the proliferation and even to lyse them. These bacteria thus play an important role in shaping species composition in pelagic environments. In this review, we discuss and categorise strategies used by algicidal bacteria for the attack on microalgae. We highlight the complex regulation of algicidal activity and defence responses that govern alga-bacteria interactions. We also discuss how algicidal bacteria impact algal physiology and metabolism and survey the existing algicidal metabolites and enzymes. The review illustrates that the ecological role of algicidal bacteria is not yet fully understood and critically discusses the challenges in obtaining ecologically relevant data.
