  • Method for culturing microorganisms on a growth substrate comprising biomass obtained from methanotrophic bacteria
    Patent number: 8592198
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microorganism growth substrate which comprises a sterile nutrient composition derived from the biomass of a culture of bacteria including methanotrophic bacteria and further containing at least one sterile nutrient. A preferred biomass material is that derived from a microbial culture comprising Methylococcus capsulates (Bath) (strain NCIMB 41526), Ralstonia sp. DB3 (strain NCIMB 41527) and Brevibacillus agri DB5 (strain NCIMB 41525), optionally in combination with Aneurinibacillus sp. DB4 (strain NCIMB 41528).
    Type: Grant

  • Method of extracting proteins from a cell
    Publication number: 20070003602
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for imparting improved functional properties to a single-cell protein material, said process comprising the step of homogenizing an aqueous slurry of the single-cell protein, e.g, a single-cell protein material derived from fermentation on natural gas. The resulting homogenized protein material has excellent functional properties and finds particular use in the preparation of food products, for example as a gelling agent or emulsifier.
