► Azospirillum-Chlorella interaction yielded accumulation of carbohydrates and starch under dark heterotrophic conditions. ► The use of d-glucose or Na-acetate as carbon sources yielded different amounts of accumulated carbohydrates. ► A. brasilense promotes accumulation of carbohydrates in Chlorell...
