Terminating harmful algal blooms by using algicidal agents is a strong disturbance event in marine environment, which has powerful structural influences on microbial ecosystems. But, the response of microbial ecosystem to algicidal agent is largely unknown. Here, we conducted Phaeocystis globosa microcosms to investigate the dynamics, assembly processes, and co-occurrence patterns of microbial communities in response to algicidal process induced by a highly efficient algicidal agent, prodigiosin, by using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The α-diversity of microbial community showed no obvious changes during the algicidal process in P. globosa microcosm treated with prodigiosin (group PD). Rhodobacteraceae increased significantly (P < 0.05) during algicidal process in PD, and this was mainly due to the lysis of P. globosa cells. Compared to the control group, the temporal turnover rates of common and rare taxa in PD were significantly higher because of the lysis of P. globosa induced by prodigiosin. Neutral processes mainly drove the assembly of microbial communities in all microcosms, even though the algicidal process induced by prodigiosin had no effect on the assembly processes. In addition, the time-decay relationship and co-occurrence network analysis indicate that rare taxa play important roles in maintaining microbial community stability in response to the algicidal process, rather than prodigiosin. These findings suggest that prodigiosin cannot affect the dynamics of microbial communities directly; however, future investigations into the function of microbial communities in response to prodigiosin remain imperative.
