The effect of Ca2+ on the removal of Alexandrium sp. LC3 under HDTMAB stress was investigated. The results showed that the toxic effect of HDTMAB on Alexandrium sp. LC3 was significantly reduced in the presence of Ca2 , especially under 4 mmol/L of Ca2+. To understand the underlying mechanism, the SH group and MDA content of the cell membrane and membrane permeability were measured. It was found that the SH content of cell member increased, the MDA content and membrane permeability decreased when Alexandrium sp. was treated with Ca2+ and HDTMAB complex, compared with using HDTMAB only. The data suggested that Ca2+ might promote HDTMAB stress resistance of Alexandrium sp. LC3 by reducing the permeability and increasing the stability of cell membrane.

We studied cupric glutamate as a novel algicide for marine harmful algae and hexadecyltrimethyleamine bromide (HDTMAB) as an accelerant. Cupric glutamate had an excellent ability to inhibit the growth of Alexandrium sp. LC3, but the inhibition efficiency did not increase with higher cupric glutamate concentration.

Mechanisms by which cupric glutamate, a novel algicide, extinguishes Alexandrium sp. LC3 are shown in this study. We show that cupric glutamate not only stimulated the production of malonaldehyde (MDA) and dramatically promoted cell plasma membrane permeability (p < 0.
