Mutualism interactions of microalgae with other microorganisms are widely used in several biotechnological processes since symbiotic interaction improves biotechnological capabilities of the microorganisms involved. The interaction of the bacterium Azospirillum brasilense was assessed with three microalgae genus, Scenedesmus, Chlorella, and Chlamydomonas, during CO2 fixation under high CO2 concentrations. The results in this study have demonstrated that A. brasilense maintained a mutualistic interaction with the three microalgae assessed, supported by the metabolic exchange of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and tryptophan (Trp), respectively. Besides, CO2 fixation increased, as well as growth and cell compound accumulation, mainly carbohydrates, in each microalgae evaluated, interacting with the bacterium. Overall, these results propose the mutualism interaction of A. brasilense with microalgae for improving biotechnological processes based on microalgae as CO2 capture and their bio-refinery capacity.
