Microcystis aeruginosacan cause harmful algal blooms in freshwaters worldwide. It has already seriously affected human lives and prevented the use of water resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop ecofriendly and effective methods to control and eliminateM. aeruginosain aquatic environments. In this study,Halobacillussp. strain H9, a bacterium that showed highM. aeruginosaflocculation activity, was isolated and selected to assess its potential for the removal ofM. aeruginosa. The analyses of flocculation activity and mode indicated that the strain H9 inducedM. aeruginosaflocculation by secreting active flocculating substance rather than by directly contacting algal cells. A 5% concentration of the H9 supernatant could efficiently flocculateM. aeruginosacells with a density of up to 5 × 107cells/mL. Dramatic increases in the zeta potential indicated that charge neutralization could be the mechanism of the flocculation process. The strain H9 flocculatedM. aeruginosawith no damage to the algal cell membrane, and did not result in microcystin being released into the surrounding environment. The flocculated algal culture was less toxic to zebrafish larvae, suggesting an environmentally friendly benefit of the H9 supernatant. In addition toM. aeruginosa,the H9 strain was also able to flocculate two other species causing harmful algal blooms,Phaeocystis globoseandHeterosigma akashiwo. Furthermore, the flocculation activity of the H9 supernatant was stable at different temperatures and over a wide pH range. These characteristics give the H9 strain great potential for mitigating the influences of harmful algal blooms.
