Abstract
P. globosa is one of the most notorious harmful algal bloom (HAB)-causing species, which can secrete hemolytic toxins, frequently cause serious ecological pollution, and pose a health hazard to animals and humans. Hence, screening for bacteria with high algicidal activity against P. globosa and studies on the algicidal characteristics and mechanism will contribute to providing an ecofriendly microorganism-controlling agent for preventing the occurrence of algal blooms and reducing the harm of algal blooms to the environment.
