Harmful algal blooms (HABs) could be deemed hazardous materials in aquatic environment.Alexandrium tamarense is a toxic HAB causing alga, which causes serious economic losses and health problems.In this study, the bacterium Deinococcus xianganensis Y35 produced a new algicide, showing a high algicidal effect on A.tamarense.The algicidal compound was identified as deinoxanthin, a red pigment, based on high resolution mass spectrometry and NMR after the active compound was isolated and purified.Deinoxanthin exhibited an obvious inhibitory effect on algal growth, and showed algicidal activity against A.tamarense with an ECs0 of 5.636 μg/mL with 12 h treatment time.Based on the unique structure and characteristics of deinoxanthin, the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased after 0.5 h exposure, the structure of organelles including chloroplasts and mitochondria were seriously damaged.All these results firstly confirmed that deinoxanthin as the efficient and eeo-environmental algicidal compound has potential to be used for controlling harmful algal blooms through overproduction of ROS.
