Isolation and killing activities of algicidal bacteria on a diatom Skeletonema sp. and a dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans in Thailand

Key Points

• To investigate the isolation and algicidal activities of bacteria against Skeletonema sp. and Noctiluca scintillans.
• Isolated bacteria from coastal waters in Thailand.
• Tested bacterial strains for their ability to kill diatoms and dinoflagellates.
• Evaluated the efficiency of algicidal activities using laboratory assays.
• Certain bacterial strains showed significant algicidal activity against Skeletonema sp.
• Other strains demonstrated effectiveness in killing Noctiluca scintillans.
