Answer / cyril johnson
A protein extracted from cultured algae, yeasts, or
bacteria and used as a substitute for protein-rich foods,
especially in animal feeds.
Microorganisms can be grown on a whole range of
cheap or waste materials, harvested and then purified
processed to provide food for either humans or livestock.
If the foodstuff produced is a protein, the product is
called single cell protein (SCP). Many microorganisms are
suitable for this process, including algae, blue-greens,
fungi and bacteria
