“…Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to an explosion of microbial diversity studies in microbial ecology research, only a limited number of studies have been published on NGS-based microbiota analysis in the context of microalgal production systems. In fact, most knowledge of alga-bacteria communities in applied settings come from wastewater treatment studies (Garc ıa et al, 2017;Sun et al, 2018;Yang et al, 2018). However, those systems are too different to microalgae production systems due to the presence of high concentrations of organic and inorganic material to expect a large overlap in microbial communities in wastewater treatment systems and algae production facilities.…”

SummaryMicrobes are ubiquitously distributed, and they are also present in algae production systems. The algal microbiome is a pivotal part of the alga holobiont and has a key role in modulating algal populations in nature. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the role of bacteria in artificial systems ranging from laboratory flasks to industrial ponds. Coexisting microorganisms, and predominantly bacteria, are often regarded as contaminants in algal research, but recent studies manifested that many algal symbionts not only promote algal growth but also offer advantages in downstream processing. Because of the high expectations for microalgae in a bio‐based economy, better understanding of benefits and risks of algal–microbial associations is important for the algae industry. Reducing production cost may be through applying specific bacteria to enhance algae growth at large scale as well as through preventing the growth of a broad spectrum of algal pathogens. In this review, we highlight the latest studies of algae–microbial interactions and their underlying mechanisms, discuss advantages of large‐scale algal–bacterial cocultivation and extend such knowledge to a broad range of biotechnological applications.

“…The analysis also reveals another interesting aspect of the processes for wastewater treatment involving microalgae: the topics on which each country has focused. China has studied lipid and biomass production using aerobic granular biomass [56][57][58], biofilm bioreactors [59,60], and membrane bioreactors [61][62][63]. China was the first country to conduct studies combining membranes and MBC for wastewater treatment, addressing membrane performance and fouling [63,64].…”
