The commercially important marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica is easily ingested by protozoan predators during large-scale cultivation. However, investigations into the effect of microalgae on the growth of protozoa are scant. A feeding experiment was conducted with Euplotes vannus grazing on different concentrations of N. oceanica. The ciliate population was significantly lower in the high concentration of algae than that in the low or medium algal concentration treatments. The density of ciliates cultured in algae filtrate media was significantly lower than that in lysate media and the blank control. Furthermore, the algal cell filtrate was added to three other protozoan populations, and they all gradually lost their ability to move and their body shape changed. This study investigated the interactions between N. oceanica and protozoan predators and provides insight on using microalgal extracellular substances to control biological contamination in the future.
