Natural plant agents are considered promising sources to control harmful algal blooms. The primary purpose of this study was to isolate the algicidal compounds fromGinkgo bilobaexocarp against the toxic cyanobacteriumMicrocystis aeruginosaand determine the potential inhibition mechanisms. Bioassay-guided fractionation of petroleum ether extract yielded ginkgolic acids, which were identified by spectral analysis (infrared and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry). Bioassays showed ginkgolic acids inhibitedM. aeruginosagrowth effectively with the 3- and 7-day median effective concentration (EC50,3d, EC50,7d) of 3.26 and 2.03 mg L−1, respectively. For the potential inhibition mechanisms, cellular morphology, physiological changes, and genes expression during 12–96 h of exposure were investigated. Ginkgolic acids caused morphologic damage or lysis of cells. They induced oxidative damage by increasing malondialdehyde content and decreasing total antioxidant and superoxide dismutase activities. Transcription of three photosynthetic genes (psaB,psbD, andrbcL) and two nutrient uptake related genes (ntcA andphoU) were also found to be inhibited. Additionally, ginkgolic acids also affected the microcystin contents and the transcription of microcystin-related genes. The results suggested that ginkgolic acids isolated fromG. bilobaexocarp have the potential to inhibitM. aeruginosagrowth effectively by causing pleiotropic effects on several physiological and biochemical reactions.
