Main properties of the topology defined by a bornology on a topological linear space and main properties of Mackey Q-algebras are presented. Relationships of Mackey Q-algebras with other classes of topological algebras are described. It is shown that every Mackey Q-algebra is an advertibly Mackey complete algebra, every strongly sequential Mackey Q-algebra is a Q-algebra, every infrasequential Mackey Q-algebra is an advertibly complete algebra, and every infrasequential advertive Hausdorff algebra is a Mackey Q-algebra.
