With the growing human population worldwide, innovative agricultural development is needed to meet food security needs. However, this has inadvertently led problematic irrigation practices and overuse of agrochemicals. Such can exacerbate soil salinization, which prevents plant growth. As a progressively widespread escalating problem, salinization poses major threat global security. Compared with traditional use microalgae or microorganisms that act on growth, microalgae–microorganism symbiosis significant advantages in promoting Microalgae work together provide wide range nutrients required by plants, they exhibit nutrient complementarity, supports Here, potential microalgae–microbial for enhancing salt tolerance was investigated. Our review demonstrated metabolic complementarity between enhance tolerance. The diversity symbiotic system improve ecosystem stability resistance reduce incidence disease under stress. These systems produce bioactive substances (e.g., phytohormones) promote crop yield, structure increasing organic matter improving water storage capacity fertility. Exploiting synergistic effects beneficial biotechnological applications offer novel solutions saline agriculture mitigate deleterious salinity health yield. there are several implementation challenges, such as allelopathic interactions autotoxicity. To make microalgae–bacteria consortia economically viable applications, optimal strains species need be identified strategies employed obtain sufficient biomass cost-effective manner. By elucidating mechanisms, ecological stability, resource utilization systems, clarifies stress responses promotes shift saline–alkali from single bioremediation systematic engineering.
