Abstract

Growth of bacteria belonging to new species of genera Pseudomonas, Microcyclus and Hyphomicrobium upon culture media comprising sources of assimilable carbon, for example oxygenated hydrocarbons, and inorganic nutrients to produce protein compositions and/or other fermentation products, for example amino acids. The protein compositions produced are suitable for use as protein supplements in human and animal foods.
