Harmful algal blooms have deleterious effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health. The application of algicidal bacteria is a promising and environmentally friendly method of preventing and eradicating harmful algal blooms. In this study, a screen for algicidal agents against harmful algal blooms was used to identify an algicidal bacterial strain (strain O-4) isolated from a Karenia mikimotoi culture. Strain O-4 exhibited a strong inhibitory effect on harmful K. mikimotoi and was identified as Paracoccus homiensis via 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. This strain killed K. mikimotoi by secreting active algicidal compounds, which were stable at temperatures of -80-121 °C but were sensitive to strongly acidic conditions (pH = 2). The algicidal properties of strain O-4 against K. mikimotoi were cell density- and time-dependent. No significant changes or negative effects were noted for two other Chlorophyta species, which highlighted the specificity of the studied algicidal substance. Finally, single-factor experiments revealed the optimum growth conditions of strain O-4 under different pH and temperature conditions. Therefore, strain O-4 has the potential to be used as a bio-agent for reducing the biomass of harmful K. mikimotoi blooms.
