Microbial protein

Microbial protein refers to the protein produced by microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and algae. These microorganisms can be cultivated to convert various sources like waste, organic materials, or plant-based feed into high-quality protein. It is considered a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional animal protein, requiring less land, water, and emissions. Microbial protein can be used directly as food for humans or as animal feed, helping to meet growing global food demands while reducing environmental impact. This innovative approach leverages microorganisms' natural ability to rapidly produce large amounts of nutritious protein.
