Microalgae are used in various biotechnological processes, such as biofuel production due to their high biomass yields, agriculture biofertilizers, of high-value-added products, decontamination wastewater, or biological models for carbon sequestration. The number these applications is increasing, and such, any advances that contribute reducing costs increasing economic profitability can have a significant impact. Nitrogen fixing organisms, often called diazotroph, also great potential, mainly an alternative chemical fertilizers. Microbial consortia typically perform more complex tasks than monocultures execute functions challenging even impossible individual strains species. Interestingly, microalgae diazotrophic organisms capable embrace different types symbiotic associations. Certain corals lichens exhibit this relationship nature, which enhances fitness. However, be artificially created laboratory conditions with the objective enhancing some processes each organism carries out independently. As result, utilization garnering interest potential yields biomass, well producing derived products serving purposes. This review makes effort examine associations aim highlighting improving processes.

Based on the increasing world population, food demands have tremendously increased. Chemical-based conventional agricultural practices will be required to fulfill demands, which damage soil and create other environmental concerns. Cyanobacteria are one of sustainable solutions overcome struggles. With potential grow in extreme conditions, cyanobacteria can boost arid regions by overcoming challenges such as water scarcity, elevated temperatures, salinity, infertile soil. produce secondary metabolites that improve status bioavailability nutrients defend plants against biotic abiotic stress. They first ones colonize form biological crust (BSC), thereby involved ecological succession. There exists a knowledge gap related climatic changes their impact terrestrial much attention is diverted towards non-terrestrial species. Covering this beneficial for future based biofertilizer (CBF).
