Abstract
Secondary metabolites of bacteria are regulatory molecules that act as "info-chemicals" that control some metabolic processes in the cells of microorganisms. These molecules provide the function of bacteria communication in microbial communities. As primary producers of organic matter in the biosphere, microalgae play a central ecological role in various ecosystems. Photosynthesis is a central process in microalgae cells, and it is exposed to various biotic and abiotic factors. Various secondary metabolites of bacteria confer a noticeable regulatory effect on photosynthesis in microalgae cells. The main purpose of this review is to highlight recent experimental results that demonstrate the impact of several types of common bacterial metabolites (volatile organic compounds, non-protein amino acids, and peptides) on photosynthetic activity in cells of microalgae. The use of these molecules as herbicides can be of great importance both for practical applications and for basic research.
