You can use Hydrogen Paraoxide to kill this.

Re: Please help
me also suffering the same problem brother.....
as rajiv sir said b very cautious while using HP, i did lost some of my mc (without knowing the exact amount of solution)
u can use any home bleach solution but all u need to do is, take out whole plants wash in bleach+water (1:19) solutions for max 20 seconda, than rinse thoroughly in dechlorinated water than plant again which will take some of your time...
so do according to your convenience....best of luck bro..

Re: Please help
Had very good success dealing with algae in my tank without taking any plants out. Was having all types of algae(BBA, BGA, GSA etc) I need more information to help you out on this.
1. Are you dosing CO2?
2. What is your tank size?
3. Lighting (type, lumens, Kelvin and duration)?
4. What is your fertilizer regime?
5. Are your plants growing?
6. How much water are you changing?
To deal with algae, you need to see first if your plants are growing well. From the limited details you have provided I doubt the plants are doing well (since no dosing in 2months). Your TDS is too high. This is a trigger for BBA even with moderate lighting. Try getting your TDS to under 200 with more frequent water changes (every 5 days). What is your water pH. Since TDS is high, likely that pH will also be high (>7.5).
If your aquarium has only slow growing/low light plants (cut down lighting).
