Cyanobacteria are found globally due to their adaptation to various environments. The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms is not a new phenomenon. The bloom-forming and toxin-producing species have been a persistent nuisance all over the world over the last decades. Evidence suggests that this trend might be attributed to a complex interplay of direct and indirect anthropogenic influences. To control cyanobacterial blooms, various strategies, including physical, chemical, and biological methods have been proposed. Nevertheless, the use of those strategies is usually not effective. The isolation of natural compounds from many aquatic and terrestrial plants and seaweeds has become an alternative approach for controlling harmful algae in aquatic systems. Seaweeds have received attention from scientists because of their bioactive compounds with antibacterial, antifungal, anti-microalgae, and antioxidant properties. The undesirable effects of cyanobacteria proliferations and potential control methods are here reviewed, focusing on the use of potent bioactive compounds, isolated from seaweeds, against microalgae and cyanobacteria growth.
由于能够适应各种环境，蓝藻在全球范围内都有分布。蓝藻水华的出现并不是一个新现象。在过去几十年中，形成水华并产生毒素的物种一直是世界各地的一个持久的麻烦。有证据表明，这种趋势可能归因于直接和间接人为影响的复杂相互作用。为了控制蓝藻水华，已经提出了各种策略，包括物理、化学和生物方法。然而，这些策略的使用通常并不有效。从许多水生和陆生植物和海藻中分离天然化合物已成为控制水生系统中有害藻类的一种替代方法。海藻因其具有抗菌、抗真菌、抗微藻和抗氧化特性的生物活性化合物而受到科学家的关注。本文综述了蓝藻增殖的不良影响和潜在的控制方法，重点介绍了从海藻中分离出的有效生物活性化合物对微藻和蓝藻生长的抑制作用。
