Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have induced severe damage worldwide. A novel high-efficient antialgal natural chemical, 3-indoleacrylic acid (3-IDC) with a 5-day half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀, ₅d), was discovered from canola straw, and its algal inhibition mechanism was investigated. Adverse effects were observed on the growth of P. donghaiense with 3-IDC addition, following an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. 3-IDC also hindered the photosynthetic mechanism of P. donghaiense cells. Transcriptional results showed 3-IDC inhibiting the functions of all the nutrient assimilating genes, down-regulated ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase II, and cytochrome f genes. The expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and 90 and rhodopsin genes were also suppressed. The binding affinity of investigated receptors was observed. The conformational changes induced by the spatial microstructural alteration through 3-IDC may further contribute to the perturbation of those enzyme catalytic activities. The present results provide new insights on controlling HABs using 3-IDC.
