Harmful Microalgae

Dear Colleagues,

Microalgal, especially harmful microalgal, which caused eutrophication of lentic aquatic ecosystems, has been a serious threat to regional economic development, as well as to aquatic animal safety and human safety. It forces us to develop efficient methods to control the bloom of harmful algal blooms by understanding the behavior of harmful microalgal, and the interaction between harmful microalgal and other microorganisms in the environment.

Therefore, the aim of this collection is to encourage scientists to publish relevant papers about harmful microalgal, thus fitting the topics of interest of the journal Phycology.

In this collection, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: harmful microalgal and the biocontrol of harmful microalgal; and algae–bacteria interactions. We welcome researches, such as harmful microalgal biocontrol methods based on single-species microorganisms and microbial aggregates, and methods for a rapid decrease in algal cells density, inhibition of harmful algal growth, and lysis of harmful algae.
