Abstract

Macroalgae plays an important function for marine environment. Algal bacteria degrade algal polysaccharides, like fucoidan and alginate. Plant growth promotion (PGP) through plant growth promoting bacteria is a well-known observable fact and the growth enhancement due to certain behaviour of bacteria. These types of bacteria also gave beneficiary effect on pest, another toxic organism. PGP bacteria are a good alter native of chemical fertilizer by increasing the soil fertility.

Keywords: Macroalgae; Organism; Plant Growth Promotion (PGP)
