  abstract = {{A}ssociation of microalgae culture and anaerobic digestion seems a promising technology for sustainable algal biomass and biogas production. {T}he use of digestates for sustaining the growth of microalgae reduces the costs and the environmental impacts associated with the substantial algal nutrient requirements. {A} natural marine algae bacteria consortium was selected by growing on a medium containing macro nutrients (ammonia, phosphate and acetate) specific of a digestate, and was submitted to a factorial experimental design with different levels of temperature, light and p{H}. {T}he microalgal consortium reached a maximum {C} conversion efficiency (i.e. ratio between carbon content produced and carbon supplied through light photosynthetic {C} conversion and acetate) of 3.6%. {T}he presence of bacteria increased this maximum {C} conversion efficiency up to 6.3%. {T}he associated bacterial community was considered beneficial to the total biomass production by recycling the carbon lost during photosynthesis and assimilating organic by-products from anaerobic digestion.},
