This study investigates the mutualistic relationship between Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Comamonas testosteroni I2 when cultured in 0.7% salinity TP media. When subjected to abiotic stresses, algal-bacterial co-culture yielded better growth compared to algal monoculture, a result which was observe...
