220 results about "Single-cell protein" patented technology

Single-cell proteins (SCP) or microbial proteins refer to edible unicellular microorganisms. The biomass or protein extract from pure or mixed cultures of algae, yeasts, fungi or bacteria may be used as an ingredient or a substitute for protein-rich foods, and is suitable for human consumption or as animal feeds. Industrial agriculture is marked by a high water footprint, high land use, biodiversity destruction, general environmental degradation and contributes to climate change by emission of a third of all greenhouse gases, production of SCP does not necessarily exhibit any of these serious drawbacks. As of today, SCP is commonly grown on agricultural waste products, and as such inherits the ecological footprint and water footprint of industrial agriculture. However, SCP may also be produced entirely independent of agricultural waste products through autotrophic growth. Thanks to the high diversity of microbial metabolism, autotrophic SCP provides several different modes of growth, versatile options of nutrients recycling, and a substantially increased efficiency compared to crops.

Methods and systems for single cell protein analysis

Provided herein are methods identifying protein-protein interactions in a single cell context. In some cases, the methods may be used to measure the abundance of protein-protein interactions in a single cell context. In some cases, the methods may be used to map relationships (e.g., spatial relationships) between proteins in a single cell context. Generally, the methods employ the use of proximity probes coupled with splint oligonucleotides to link information about the relationship of proteins within a single cell context, which may then be read in a downstream process (e.g., a sequencing reaction).
