Abstract

The global population is increasing, with a predicted demand for 1250 million tonnes of animal-derived protein by 2050, which will be difficult to meet. Single-cell protein (SCP) offers a sustainable solution. This review covers SCP production mechanisms, microbial and substrate choices, and advancements in metabolic engineering and CRISPR-Cas. It emphasizes second-generation substrates and fermentation for a circular economy. Despite challenges like high nucleic acid content, SCP promises to solve the global nutrition problem.

用于食品和饲料生产的单细胞蛋白质 (SCP) 技术的最新进展和挑战

全球人口不断增长，预计到 2050 年，动物源蛋白质的需求量将达到 1.25 亿吨，而这一需求量将难以满足。单细胞蛋白（SCP）提供了一种可持续的解决方案。本综述涵盖 SCP 的生产机制、微生物和底物的选择，以及代谢工程和 CRISPR-Cas 的进展。它强调了第二代底物和发酵以实现循环经济。尽管存在高核酸含量等挑战，SCP 仍有望解决全球营养问题。
