• Microorganisms have a high rate of

multiplication that means a large

quantity of biomass can be produced in a

comparatively short duration.

• The microbes can be easily genetically

modified to vary the amino acid

composition. They have high protein

contents- 43% to 85% (W/W basis).

waste materials, can be used as a substrate

for SCP. This also helps in decreasing the
