“…Glutamate was the most abundant amino acid in the original PPW, and thus also in the final biomasses. The amino acid composition of produced biomass was similar to that of Aspergillus niger [20], which indicates good compatibility in animal feed (Table 3). Further work will however be necessary to assess the quality aspects of the product.…”

“…The previously reported applications of S. acidophilum indicated its potential for the bioconversion of acidic wastes or waste hydrolysates into single cell protein [13] [16] [17] [18] [19]. In addition, fungi provide, to some extent a favorable composition especially in terms of relatively low nucleic acid concentration [20]. Due to the extensive industrial production volume and low raw material price, potato peels are also an interesting source of bioactive phenolic compounds.…”

The aim of this research was to convert potato peel waste (PPW) to single cell protein (SCP), and to extract valuable phenolic compounds from the spent medium. PPW is an abundant by-product of potato processing industry, consisting mostly of starch, fibre and protein in a form of watery sludge. The PPW from a chip manufacturing plant was pre-treated with sulphuric acid, and used as a substrate for an acidophilic Scytalidium acidophilum fungus under non-aseptic conditions. The produced SCP had a promising amino acid composition to be used in animal feed. Phenolic compounds were not recovered from the spent medium, most likely due to the low pH in the medium. The present findings suggest that PPW is a suitable raw material for acidophilic SCP production, whilst the extraction of phenolic acids would require milder cultivation conditions or separation before pre-treatments of SCP production. The BOD5 of the PPW was reduced by in 98% due to fungal cultivation. Thus the feed production also served as an efficient means for reduction of organic load in the PPW.

“…Mushrooms are sought after as a great alternative source of protein, although many mushrooms are prized for producing secondary metabolites with medicinal effects [215,216]. Protein extracted from cultured microbial biomass (single-cell protein-SCP) is also being used for protein supplementation of staple diets by replacing conventional protein sources [217]. The global animal protein market is several hundred million tons per year, and that of plant protein is several billion tons of protein per year; thus, expanding the production of microbial protein will not be challenging [218].…”

Abstract:The ecological and biotechnological services that microorganisms provide to the planet and human society highlight the need to understand and preserve microbial diversity, which is widely distributed, challenging the severity of certain environments. Cataloging this diversity has also challenged the methods that are currently used to isolate and grow microorganisms, because most of the microbiota that are present in environmental samples have been described as unculturable. Factors such as geographic isolation and host preference also hinder the assessment of microbial diversity. However, prejudiced historical practices, including the prioritization of some species of microorganisms merely because they cause diseases, have long shifted research on fungi and bacteria towards medically relevant microorganisms. Thus, most microorganisms that inhabit the planet are still unknown, as is the potential of these species. Current estimates allow us to predict that the diversity of microorganisms that are present in the various terrestrial ecosystems is enormous. However, understanding this diversity is a challenge for the future of microbial ecology research.

“…Aspergillus niger [2,3], Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2,4], Fusarium graminearum [2], Penicillium cyclopium [5], and white fungi [6] are examples of microorganisms used worldwide as SCP. Mucor, Rhizopus, Aspergillus, and Penicillium are the most widely used filamentous fungi in processes involving solid-state fermentation (SSF), lending themselves to this application by their ability to grow in the absence of free water and their versatility of application and manipulation [1,7]. Residues such as sugar cane bagasse [8,9], wheat bran [10][11][12], and rice bran [13] are the main agro-industrial subproducts used in processes involving SSF.…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the protein enrichment of apple pomace by Gongronella butleri through solid-state cultivation and addition of this material as feed for tilapia fry (Oreochromis niloticus). Factorial experimental design was used for the assessment of culture conditions to determine the effects of the source of nitrogen, initial moisture, and granulometry on the protein enrichment of apple pomace. During culture, the consumption of reducing sugars and the production of soluble protein were determined. The best conditions obtained were with urea (5% w/w), initial moisture of 70% and granulometry in the range from 0.85 to 1.70 mm, producing 19.63% of soluble protein. The fry submitted to the diet containing treated apple pomace presented an increase of 44% in body mass, demonstrating that apple pomace biotransformed may represent an excellent food supplement.
