Euglena gracilis is a freshwater flagellate possessing secondary chloroplast of green algal origin. This protist has numerous biotechnological applications such as production of biofuels and pharmaceuticals, and it can be also used for bioremediation of polluted water and wastewater. One of the highest limitations for its large-scale cultivation is that it cannot synthesize vitamins B1 and B12 which are expensive and they have to be added to media. This study revealed that E. gracilis can be grown for long time periods without the addition of vitamins B1 and B12 in the co-culture containing filamentous fungus Cladosporium westerdijkiae, and bacteria Lysinibacillus boronitolerans and Pseudobacillus badius. Growing of E. gracilis in such co-cultures without the addition of vitamins can dramatically reduce large scale cultivation costs. Moreover, C. westerdijkiae could be used in biotechnology for immobilization and effective harvesting of E. gracilis from big cultivation containers by bioflocculation.

Data Analytics provides various methods and approaches to extract hidden and poten-tially useful knowledge for different purposes. It means that we can use this knowledge for decision support, e.g. to identify crucial inputs and relations, to predict some future state, to confirm or reject our hypothesis. The medical diagnostics deals with all the mentioned tasks to provide a right diagnosis for the patient and to ensure the effective diagnostic process. In this paper, we briefly describe some of our activi-ties oriented to support medical diagnostics by means of Data Analytics approaches; we selected only key points here, more details can be found in our previously pub-lished articles.
