Perspectives in nutrition suggest a greater use of single-cell proteins in the future. The problems of a high purine content and of potential allergens have been solved by technology. The single-cell proteins may contain trehalose, the absorption of which by the human intestine necessitates prior hydrolysis by trehalase, a specific brush-border disaccharidase. The enzymatic analysis of 100 intestinal biopsies discovered 2 cases of very low trehalase level, with an expected clinical intolerance to even small doses of trehalose. It is concluded that tolerance to high doses of trehalose should be excellent in about 98% of healthy people.

Unlabelled: In this review, we focus on how purple non-sulfur bacteria can be leveraged for sustainable bioproduction to support the circular economy. We discuss the state of the field with respect to the use of purple bacteria for energy production, their role in wastewater treatment, as a fertilizer, and as a chassis for bioplastic production. We explore their ability to serve as single-cell protein and production platforms for fine chemicals from waste materials.

Due to population growth and climate changes, there is a rising need for alternative food and protein sources to reduce protein scarcity and the environmental impact of food industries. Single-cell proteins (SCPs) have the potential to partially or fully substitute plant- and animal-derived dietary proteins. is an appealing bacterium for SCP production because of its fast growth and ability to obtain high protein and essential amino acid (AA) content in its biomass.

With the growth of the population, the demand for aquatic products is increasing. Additionally, the development of the aquaculture industry has led to a heightened demand for fishmeal (FM). FM is a high-protein feed raw material made from one or more types of fish, which has been deoiled, dehydrated, and crushed.

Article Synopsis
- Cotton stalk, a by-product of cotton farming, has not been well-studied for its lignocellulosic properties, complicating its use as a feedstock.
- This research analyzes the composition of cotton stalk's lignocellulose components and the structural characteristics of its lignin.
- The study demonstrates that cotton stalk hydrolysates can effectively produce single-cell protein using the microbe Candida utilis, achieving a concentration of 5.74 g/L and offering insights for better utilization of cotton stalk in feedstock applications.
Unlocking the potential of Cupriavidus necator H16 as a platform for bioproducts production from carbon dioxide.

State Key Laboratory of Animal Nutrition and Feeding, Institute of Animal Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, 100193, China.
The rapid global increase in fossil fuel and energy consumption has resulted in the accumulation of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO), thus contributing to climate change. Therefore, transforming CO into valuable products could yield beneficial outcomes. In this review, the capabilities of Cupriavidus necator H16, a light-independent chemoautotrophic bacterium, as a host platform for the transformation of CO into diverse products are explored.
