Abstract

Abstract:

As a significant emerging technology in recent years for environmental pollution control and degraded ecological environment restoration， algal-bacterial symbiosis has received extensive attention. The fungal and algal components demonstrate intricate interconnections across physiological and biochemical mechanisms， encompassing physical structural associations， biogeochemical nutrient cycling， and cellular signal transduction pathways. Currently， this technology can be applied to various fields including water pollution control， aquaculture tailwater treatment， and soil remediation， playing a crucial role in the green restoration of the ecological environment. However， current research still faces challenges. The symbiotic mechanism has not been fully clarified， and the long-term stability and controllability of the symbiotic system in complex environments require in depth exploration. This study synthesizes contemporary scholarship on fungal-algal symbiotic systems， this paper analyzes the research progress of the algal-bacterial symbiotic mechanism and ecological restoration practices， looks ahead to the future development direction of algal-bacterial symbiosis， and provides theoretical and practical references for further research in related fields of soil desertification control.

Key words: algal-bacterial symbiosis, material cycling, ecological restoration, biological soil crusts
