jproyalejp: Single-cell protein (SCP) refers to protein derived from cells of microorganisms such as yeast, fungi, algae, and bacteria, which are grown on various carbon sources for synthesis.
bishal24: by para u say
jproyalejp: SCP is a protein source for human food supplements and animal feeds. SCP production may have potential for feeding the ever-increasing world population. Massive quantities of SCP can be produced in a single day. As a source of protein it is very promising with potential to satisfy the world shortage of food while population increases.
jproyalejp: There are several carbon sources that are used as energy sources for microorganisms for growing and producing SCP.
jproyalejp: now okay
