By 2050, the world would need to produce 1,250 million tonnes of meat and dairy per year to meet global demand for animal-derived protein at current consumption levels. However, growing demand for protein will not be met sustainably by increasing meat and dairy production because of the low efficiency of converting feed to meat and dairy products. New solutions are needed. Single cell protein (...

Yeast strains and appropriate hydrolysis conditions were selected for efficient single cell protein (SCP) production from waste rapeseed meal. High potential effective biomass was observed Yarrowia lipolytica LOCK0264 with 10 g of meal at 4.9 × 108 ± 1.5 (2.91 logarithmic units). The highest yeast multiplication rate obtained Metschnikowia pulcherrima NCYC747 12.5 15 1.6 3.8 107 4.5 4.0 (2.75 2...

Although the sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP-2) gene encodes for two proteins, almost nothing is known of the function and potential processing of the larger transcript corresponding to the 58 kDa sterol carrier protein-2/3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase (SCP-x), in intact cells. L-cell fibroblasts transfected with cDNA encoding for the 58 kDa SCP-x protein had a 4.5-fold increase in SCP-x mRNA transcript ...

Single cell protein (SCP) is the first product of fermentation process and has proven to be a good alternative. Food competition becoming more intense as world’s population continues grow. Soon, SCP may able compensate for deficit. Various global businesses are focusing on production, scope its application expanding time knowledge increases. High quantities can produced by microorganisms, such ...

HDL-mediated reverse-cholesterol transport as well as phosphoinositide signaling are mediated through plasma membrane microdomains termed caveolae/lipid rafts. However, relatively little is known regarding mechanism(s) whereby these lipids traffic to or are targeted to caveolae/lipid rafts. Since sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) binds both cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol, the possibility t...

The effects of stresscopin (SCP) on rat paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons were examined using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and single-cell reverse-transcription multiplex polymerase chain reaction (SC-RT-mPCR) techniques. Under current-clamp conditions, bath application of SCP (100 nM) induced inhibition in 35.2% (37/105) of putative magnocellular neurons and 24.7% (20/81) of putative ...

Production of single cell protein (SCP) from natural gas in a one liter bubble column reactor and optimization of the process parameters were investigated. The medium specifications, nitrogen sources, initial inoculum volume, and inlet ratio of gas to air were considered as process parameters to be optimized. The optimum condition for highest biomass production in which the maximum quantity of ...

Single cell protein (SCP) intended for animal feed purposes was produced in a pilot plant. The SCP consisted of Methylomonas methanolica, a pseudomonas species which is an obligate methanol user. The SCP was cultured in fermenters and later dewatered and dried in a spray-drier. Seven of eight research workers had febrile reactions 6-12 hours after exposure to SCP dust. All workers had high titr...

Microbial treatment of biodegradable wastes not only ensures neutralization harmful substances such as volatile organic compounds but also enables valorization and bio-circularity within the society. Single cell protein (SCP) is a value-added product that can be obtained from waste materials food via microbial fermentation. In this article, SCP derived potato starch was demonstrated viable alte...
