Abstract Cyanobacterial blooms are a worldwide problem, especially in freshwaters. As one of the most abundant co-existing organisms of algae, bacteria play critical roles in cyanobacteria growth, particularly the cyanobactericidal bacteria which can efficiently kill cyanobacteria. Recent years, cyanobactericidal bacteria are highly recognized as a method that could potentially block cyanobacterial blooms. Many studies have been conducted to assess their effects on the termination of cyanobacteria blooms and explore their cyanobactericidal mechanisms, e.g., attacking by cell to cell or releasing specific compounds, the physiological, metabolic, and transcriptional disturbance on cyanobacteria. In this review, the present state of research on cyanobactericidal bacteria for the bloom-causing cyanobacteria species is summarized. The challenges in applying cyanobactericidal bacteria in the control of natural cyanobacterial blooms are discussed.

Introduction Cyanobacteria are common algae in freshwater, and their rapid growth can easily lead to bloom outbreak when nutrients (e.g., the concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron) (Huisman et al. 2018), temperature and hydrologic conditions (e.g., low velocity, long hydrolytic retention time) (Fu et al. 2015) are suitable. In warm seasons (e.g., summer), most inland waters around human habitations can provide these conditions. Thus the cyanobacterial blooms occur worldwide and have become an environmental problem. Due to the nutrient inputs (e.g., sewage discharge and Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (https​://doi.org/10.1007/s1127​4-020-02965​-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. * Caiyun Yang [email protected] * Feng Luo [email protected] 1

usage of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer), the elevation of temperature and pCO2 under the global warming, and intensification of water stratification resulting from climate changes, the frequency, duration, and scale of phytoplankton blooms tend to be accelerated (Havens and Paerl 2015; Huisman et al. 2018; Ji et al. 2020; Paerl et al. 2018) and cyanobacterial blooms are the most competitive one (Gobler 2020; Paerl et al. 2018). Dense cyanobacterial blooms can release the odor compounds and cyanotoxins, increase turbidity, produce mucilaginous materials, and cause oxygen depletion during microbi
