Microbial protein synthesis

Microbial protein synthesis refers to the process by which microorganisms, like bacteria and fungi, convert organic materials (like sugars and other nutrients) into protein. These microbes thrive in environments such as the digestive systems of animals. When they consume food, they grow and multiply, creating proteins as a byproduct of their metabolism. This microbial protein is then available for the host animal to use for its own growth and health. This process is crucial in agricultural practices, especially in livestock, as it helps enhance the nutritional quality of animal feed.
