Microorganisms have a high rate of multiplication to hence rapid succession of generation (algae: 2-6hours, yeast: 1-3 hours, bacteria: 0.5-2 hours).

Answer:
Advantages of Single cell protein.
Explanation:
Large scale SCP production has some advantages over the conventional food production, these advantages are :
1).Microorganisms have a high rate of multiplication to hence rapid succession of generation (algae: 2-6hours, yeast: 1-3 hours, bacteria: 0.5-2 hours)
2).They can be easily genetically modified for varying the amino acid composition.
3).A very high protein content 43-85 % in the dry mass.
4).They can utilize a broad spectrum of raw materials as carbon sources, which include even waste products. Thus they help in the removal of pollutants also.
5).Strains with high yield and good composition can be selected or produce relatively easily.
6).Microbial biomass production occurs in continuous cultures and the quality is consistent since the growth is independent of seasonal and climatic variations.
7).Land requirements is low and is ecologically beneficial.
8).It is not dependent on climate
i hope it helps you.
