Florfenicol (FFC) is one of the most universally used antibiotics in aquaculture, which is substitute for chloramphenicol extensively, while the massive residues in aquatic environment were assumed to threaten the non-target organisms. Present research investigated the effects of florfenicol on growth, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, and antioxidant ability of Isochrysis galbana. The results showed that FFC at 0.001–1 mg/L stimulated the growth of I. galbana and increased the content of chlorophyll. In addition, photosynthesis of I. galbana was inhibited and the photosynthetic parameters were uplifted with the increased exposure duration and FFC concentration. Furthermore, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activity significantly dropped at 0.01–20 mg/L FFC, while the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased after 72 h exposure, indicating that FFC at high concentrations caused a serious oxidative stress on algae. The simultaneous increase of ROS disrupted the equilibration between oxidants and antioxidant systems. Under the high concentration of FFC, the excessive of ROS was generated in algae which affected the membrane permeability and further decreased the cell biomass. Present study showed that acute exposure (72 h) at the environmental relevant concentration (0.01 mg/L) cannot induce the physiological dysfunction of the microalgae I. galbana, but the feeding concentration (20 mg/L) can. Additionally, this study hinted the possible negative impacts on ecosystems with the chronic exposure even at low FFC concentration or with the uncontrolled use of FFC.
