3. To meet this requirement of the production of proteins, microorganisms are grown and nourished in a large scale, only for the single-celled proteins.
4. They not only provides proteins, but also produces it in shorter time with ease.
5. Now the product extracted from microbes, which are single-celled proteins, is commonly used in the supplements added in the foods, which are consumed by humans.
