The ways in which bacteria interact with eukaryotic, unicellular algae are extremely diverse. Such relationships vary widely according to a number of criteria, including spatial and temporal scales, the degree of specificity, and if the relationship can be characterized as beneficial or detrimental to any of the organisms involved. These criteria can be applied to our assessment of how microbes interact with those species involved in the formation of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The aim of this paper is to assess the current state of our knowledge of bacterial/HAB interactions as they pertain to the influence of bacteria on HAB population dynamics, the role of bacteria in the production of toxins normally attributed to the algae, and the suggestion that HABs may act as vectors for pathogenic bacteria. Given that viruses are now considered to play a potentially important role in structuring phytoplankton communities, the possible effects of viruses on the population dynamics of harmful algal species are also addressed.
细菌与真核单细胞藻类相互作用的方式极为多样。根据多种标准，此类关系差异很大，包括空间和时间尺度、特异性程度，以及该关系对任何相关生物体而言能否被界定为有益或有害。这些标准可应用于我们对微生物如何与参与有害藻华（HABs）形成的物种相互作用的评估。本文旨在评估我们目前对细菌/HAB相互作用的了解状况，这些相互作用涉及细菌对HAB种群动态的影响、细菌在通常归因于藻类的毒素产生中的作用，以及关于HABs可能充当致病细菌载体的观点。鉴于目前认为病毒在构建浮游植物群落方面可能发挥重要作用，本文还探讨了病毒对有害藻类物种种群动态的可能影响。
