Abstract Seaweed aquaculture is an expanding industry with innovative applications beyond the traditional uses as human foods and phycocolloids. Asparagopsis armata , a red seaweed, cultivated feed supplement to reduce methane emission from ruminants. The manipulation of microbiota seaweed beneficial microorganisms (SBMs) has shown promise in enhancing disease resistance growth seaweeds potential aid cultivation A. . In this study, we developed assay for rapid selection bacteria that promote tetrasporophytes. We tested bacterial strains genera Phaeobacter Pseudoalteromonas their impact on these have been recognized traits other seaweeds. All significantly enhanced specific rate (SGR) tetrasporophytes compared controls without treatment. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing confirmed presence inoculated growth-promoting SBMs (SBM-Gs) cultures no significant impacts resident microbial community. Co-occurrence network analysis resulting communities demonstrated spp. formed distinct modules, exclusively interacting species, while sp. was absent network. These results demonstrate inoculation effective strategy incorporating SBM-Gs into growth. may exert influence by species or directly affecting host physiology, minimal undesired effects microbiome.
