AB A greater insight on the control of the interactions between microalgae and othermicroorganisms, particularly bacteria, should be useful for enhancing the efficiency of microalgalbiomass production and associated valuable compounds. Little attention has been paid to thecontrolled utilization of microalgae-bacteria consortia. However, the studies of microalgal-bacterialinteractions have revealed a significant impact of the mutualistic or parasitic relationships on algalgrowth. The algal growth, for instance, has been shown to be enhanced by growth promoting factorsproduced by bacteria, such as indole-3-acetic acid. Vitamin B12 produced by bacteria in algal culturesand bacterial siderophores are also known to be involved in promoting faster microalgal growth.More interestingly, enhancement in the intracellular levels of carbohydrates, lipids and pigmentsof microalgae coupled with algal growth stimulation has also been reported. In this sense, massivealgal production might occur in the presence of bacteria, and microalgae-bacteria interactions canbe beneficial to the massive production of microalgae and algal products. This manuscript reviewsthe recent knowledge on the impact of the microalgae-bacteria interactions on the production ofmicroalgae and accumulation of valuable compounds, with an emphasis on algal species havingapplication in aquaculture.
