Question

Why are proteins synthesized from Spirulina called Single celled Proteins? What is the significance of such a protein?Class XIIStrategies for enhancement in food production

Answer 1

 One of the alternate sources of proteins for animal and human nutrition is Single Cell Protein (SCP). Microbes are being grown on an industrial scale as source of good protein.
      Microbes like Spirulina can be grown easily on materials like waste water from potato processing plants (containing starch), straw, molasses, animal manure and even sewage, to produce large quantities and can serve as food rich in protein, minerals, fats, carbohydrate and vitamins.

Answer 2

Answer:

Single cell proteins are the alternating source of the proteins by animals for the human nutrition the protein rich food produced by microbes is known as single cell protein .spirulina is a microorganism which produces large amount of protein in short span because of its high growth rate .hence provide a protein rich diet for human being.
