Abstract Background Synthetic algal-fungal and algal-bacterial cultures have been investigated for technological applications because the microbe interactions enhance growth improve stress tolerance of co-cultures. Yet these studies often disregarded natural consortia due to complexity environmental samples. The protist Euglena mutabilis is found in association with other microbes acidic environments high heavy metal (HM) concentrations. This may suggest that microbial are essential alga’s ability tolerate extreme environments. Our study assessed Cd a fungal-algal-bacterial (FAB) where algae replaced by photosynthetic E. . Results provides first assessment antimycotic antibiotic agents on results indicate suppression associated fungal bacterial partners significantly decreases number viable cells upon exposure. However, axenic gracilis recovered grew well following treatments. Interestingly, both species displayed increased chlorophyll production Finally, constituent organisms FAB were identified using PacBio sequencing be Talaromyces sp Acidiphilium acidophilum Conclusion uncovers possible tripartite symbiotic relationship, consortia, withstands exposure concentrations HM. unique fungus, bacterium, interaction strengthens photobiont’s resistance model types could used create self-sustaining bioremediation technology.
