People in third world and developing countries are suffering from menace of protein deficiency in their diets resulting in serious protein-energy malnutrition problems. The situation, demands exploration of new un-conventional protein sources to fortify human food. The present study was planned to assess the feasibility of using agro-industrial wastes for Saccharomyces cerevisiae production and...

The human population is growing and, globally, we must meet the challenge of increased protein needs required to feed this population. Single cell proteins (SCP), when coupled to aquaculture production, offer a means to ensure future protein needs can be met without direct competition with food for people. To demonstrate a given type of SCP has potential as a protein source for use in aquacultu...

Abstract In recent years, single-cell protein (SCP) has been considered a promising aquaculture feed to cope with the growing issue of food security. SCP is derived from microbes including algae, yeasts, and bacteria. Algae yeasts have comprehensively studied as sources in last few years. However, their large-scale application not yet economical. Recently, use purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) ...

As global fisheries decline, microbial single-cell protein (SCP) produced from brewery process water has been highlighted as a potential source of protein for sustainable animal feed. However, biotechnological investigation of SCP is difficult because of the natural variation and complexity of microbial ecology in wastewater bioreactors. In this study, we investigate microbial response across a...

The capacity of utilising a single cell protein (SCP) ingredient coming from Corynebacterium glutamicum was assessed on adult grey mullet ( Mugil cephalus ) reared in captive conditions. experiment carried out using triplicate groups 68 g average initial body weight. Three diets, SCP0, SCP10 and SCP20 with increasing inclusion SCP (0%, 10% 20%) substitution soybean, poultry fish meal were formu...

Abstract Fruit juice industry wastewater is characterized by high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and low pH, which requires extensive energy if treated aerobically can adversely affect aquatic organisms discharged into water bodies without proper treatment. In this study, purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) were employed to recover carbon through photoanaerobic treatment in the form of single-cell ...

Many steps in the replication cycle of cytomegalovirus (CMV), like cell entry, capsid assembly, and egress of newly synthesized virions, have not been completely analyzed yet. In order to facilitate these studies, we decided to construct a recombinant CMV that incorporates the green fluorescent protein (GFP) into the nucleocapsid. A comparable herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutant has rece...
