Isolation and Characterization of <i>Euglena gracilis</i>-Associated Bacteria, <i>Enterobacter</i> sp. CA3 and <i>Emticicia</i> sp. CN5, Capable of Promoting the Growth and Paramylon Production of <i>E. gracilis</i> under Mixotrophic Cultivation

<i>Euglena gracilis</i> produces paramylon, which is a feedstock for high-value functional foods and nutritional supplements. The enhancement of paramylon productivity is a critical challenge. Microalgae growth-promoting bacteria (MGPB) can improve microalgal productivity; however, the M...
