Isothiazolinones, such as 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (BIT), are widely used as biocides for bacterial growth control in many domestic and industrial processes. Despite their advantages as biocides, they are highly toxic and pose a potential risk to the environment. This study investigated the inhibition process and detoxification mechanism involved in microalgal survival and growth recovery after BIT poisoning. BIT could seriously inhibit the growth of Scenedesmus sp. LX1, Chlorella sp. HQ, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with half maximal effective concentrations at 72 h (72h-EC50) of 1.70, 0.41, and 1.16 mg/L, respectively. The primary inhibition mechanism was the BIT-induced damage to microalgal photosynthetic systems. However, the inhibited strains could recover when their growth was not completely inhibited. The influence of this inhibiting effect on subsequent algal regrowth was negligible or weak. BIT consumption was the primary reason for their recovery. Notably, algae did not die even if their growth was completely inhibited. If the BIT concentration did not exceed a certain high level, then the inhibited algae could recover their growth relatively well. Microalgal generation of reduced glutathione (GSH) and the oxygen radical scavenging enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), played a key role in detoxification against BIT poisoning.
