Integrated bioprocess for single-cell protein production: Converting waste-derived biogas into sustainable feed protein by Hafiz Muhammad Aamir Shahzad, Zukhruf Asim, Zainab I. Elkahlout, Khaled A. Mahmoud, Fares Almomani, Kashif Rasool

“…The second phase focused on methanotrophic SCP production, where a co-culture of Methylosinus sporium and Methylophilus methylotrophus demonstrated the highest biomass yield (880 ± 51 mg/L) with a 51 % protein content, further increasing to 976 ± 48 mg/L under an optimized CH4 to air ratio of 40:60. Replacing CH4 with raw biogas and synthetic mineral salt with digestate reduced biomass yield (610 ± 61 mg/L), highlighting the need for biogas purification and provision of essential trace elements in digestate for optimal CH4 oxidation. …”
