Single-cell protein production
Protein of a high nutritional value can be produced in a fermentation process with simple
and extremely accessible raw materials: Natural gas or methanol as carbon source,
ammonia as nitrogen source, oxygen or air and a number of common minerals in small
quantities (sodium sulphate, ammonium phosphate, calcium nitrate and the like).
The process itself is also very simple:

Large-scale production of commodity chemicals by fermentation routes may well become
one of the fastest moving enterprises of the early 21st century. Among the most promising
processes is the production of animal feed from natural gas, a cheap and abundantly
available natural resource.
Currently animal feed rich in protein is produced from fishmeal,

THE PRODUCT - UNIPROTEIN®
UniProtein® is a free-flowing reddish brown, non-dusty granule with a particle size of 150 - 200 µm. It is a protein-rich biomass produced by microbial cultures with natural gas as the sole carbon and energy source. An analysis of basic UniProtein® on a dry weight basis gives the following mean values:
