Discussion
Microbial biomass grown on a waste substrate and used as a protein source is called _____ protein.
Answer: B
Correct answer: single cell
Single cell protein is microbial biomass - yeast, bacteria or fungi - grown on a cheap substrate and harvested for its protein. Molasses, whey and hydrolysates all serve, which is what makes it a by-product route rather than a primary process.
The organisms multiply quickly and are indifferent to climate and season, but the nucleic acid content of microbial cells limits how much can safely be included in a diet, which is the constraint that has kept the technology to feed rather than food in most applications.
