Story summary

A groundbreaking dual-reactor system revolutionizes protein production by seamlessly blending anaerobic and aerobic processes. It transforms CO2 into acetate, which aerobic Alcaligenes bacteria utilize to generate single-cell protein (SCP) boasting an impressive 74% protein concentration. This innovative approach produces 17.4 g/L of dry cell weight, offering promising benefits for both animal feed and potential human consumption.
