Single-cell proteins (SCP) or microbial proteins[1] refer to edible unicellular microorganisms. The biomass or protein extract from pure or mixed cultures of algae, yeasts, fungi or bacteria may be used as an ingredient or a substitute for protein-rich foods, and is suitable for human consumption or as animal feeds.

2023年6月6日 · Single Cell Protein is the dried cells of microorganisms consumed as a protein supplement by humans or animals. The protein is derived from cells of micro-organisms such as yeast, fungi, algae, and bacteria which are grown on various carbon sources for synthesis.

2024年9月18日 · Single-cell protein (SCP) offers a sustainable solution. This review covers SCP production mechanisms, microbial and substrate choices, and advancements in metabolic engineering and CRISPR-Cas....

Single-cell protein refers to the crude, a refined or edible protein extracted from pure microbial cultures, dead, or dried cell biomass. They can be used as a protein supplement for both humans or animals.

The single-cell proteins are highly rich in protein content. It requires the cheapest raw material as a substrate for the growth of microorganisms. It can be produced at any season in a controlled environment.

2021年1月30日 · Single cell protein (SCP) is a bulk of dried cells which can also termed as bioprotein, microbial protein or biomass. SCP is produced by the microorganisms such as algae, yeast, fungi and bacteria, however, fungi and bacteria are the major producers of this protein.

Single-cell proteins (SCPs) are microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and algae) that are grown for animal or human consumption (LaTurner et al., 2020).
