Two kinds of microorganisms, microalgae as photolithotrophic one and hydrogenbacteria as chemolithotrophic one are presented as the possible producers of single cell protein by CO2 fixation.
The history and the present state of mass-cultivation of algae are elucidated. Several essential points for the future low-cost production of SCP by microalgae are indicated and discussed. Possibility of SCP production by CO2 fixation in fermenters using algae with light or using hydrogenbacteria with hydrogen and oxygen as the energy sources are also discussed.
In conclusion, semi-natural cultivation of certain alkalic and filamentous algae in tropical arid districts is emphasized as the possible low-cost production method of SCP by algae.
