Secondary metabolites of bacteria are regulatory molecules that act as "info-chemicals" that control some metabolic processes in the cells of microorganisms. These molecules provide the function of bacteria communication in microbial communities. As primary producers of organic matter in the biosphere, microalgae play a central ecological role in various ecosystems. Photosynthesis is a central process in microalgae cells, and it is exposed to various biotic and abiotic factors. Various secondary metabolites of bacteria confer a noticeable regulatory effect on photosynthesis in microalgae cells. The main purpose of this review is to highlight recent experimental results that demonstrate the impact of several types of common bacterial metabolites (volatile organic compounds, non-protein amino acids, and peptides) on photosynthetic activity in cells of microalgae. The use of these molecules as herbicides can be of great importance both for practical applications and for basic research.
细菌的次生代谢产物是作为“信息化学物质”的调节分子，可控制微生物细胞中的一些代谢过程。这些分子在微生物群落中发挥细菌通讯的功能。作为生物圈中有机物质的主要生产者，微藻在各种生态系统中发挥着核心生态作用。光合作用是微藻细胞中的核心过程，并且会受到各种生物和非生物因素的影响。细菌的各种次生代谢产物对微藻细胞的光合作用具有显著的调节作用。本综述的主要目的是突出近期的实验结果，这些结果证明了几种常见细菌代谢产物（挥发性有机化合物、非蛋白质氨基酸和肽）对微藻细胞光合活性的影响。将这些分子用作除草剂对于实际应用和基础研究都可能具有重要意义。
