BIOMEDICAL POTENTIAL OF ALGO-BACTERIAL SYMBIOSES

Abstract

The analysis of the latest published works on the interactions between microalgae and bacteria is presented. Microalgae as a result of multimillion evolution can interact with each other and with another microorganisms. Interactions between algae and bacteria demonstrate a variety of communication from mutualism to parasitism. They can significantly affect the maintenance of vital activity, determines the direction vector, ensure the integrity of ecosystems. In modern society the attention of researches to algae-bacterial symbiosis increases as a biomass producer and as biologically active compounds. The development of green biotechnology is aimed at creating new directions for the use of algae-bacterial interactions. The analyzes materials testify to the high fundamental and applied potential of symbiosis microalgae with bacteria for biology and medicine.
