Abstract
ABSTRACTCells of Pseudomonas JM127 were grown in a medium containing mesquite wood as the sole source of carbon. The nutritional value of the microbial protein thus produced was determined. The protein contained more lysine and methionine than the FAO/WHO amino acid pattern and the requirement of infant, child or adult. The net protein utilization measurements indicated that the biological value of protein in the intact single cells was inferior to that of casein. The net protein utilization and nitrogen digestability were significantly improved when the cells were mechanically homogenized.
