Algae and microbial proteins for alternative proteins: Untapped molecular resources.

Current Single-cell Proteins as Ingredients: Functions, Challenges, and Regulatory Frameworks.

Single-cell proteins (SCPs) broadly comprise microbial biomass or biomass-derived proteinaceous products produced from bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, or microalgae. In the broader field of cell-derived alternative proteins, animal- and plant-cell-derived platforms are also being explored because they can reproduc...

Microorganisms of Technological Interest: A Critical Review of Diversity, Metabolites and Biotechnological Uses

It is concluded that microbial diversity is technologically valuable when converted into predictable, robust and recoverable function at relevant scale when converted into phenotype-to-process matching.

Insect proteins for alternative proteins: Sustainable solutions for molecular efficiency.

Dietary Microbial Polysaccharides in Food Systems: Production, Functional Properties, and Applications

ABSTRACT Microbial polysaccharides are structurally diverse biopolymers produced by bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and algae, functioning as extracellular matrices and/or intracellular carbon reserves depending on the organism and growth conditions. Among them, microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) have attracted substantial i...

Microbial Production of Alternative Proteins for Food Applications: Advances, Industrial Challenges, and Regulatory Status.

The escalating global population and the environmentally inefficient nature of livestock-based protein production are intensifying demand for sustainable and scalable protein alternatives. Microbial biosynthesis, employing engineered cell factories, represents a pivotal strategy for producing functional proteins with a...

Fungal Biotechnology for Sustainable Biocomposites: From Mycelium Growth to Material Translation

Fungal biotechnology has emerged as a promising platform for the development of sustainable biocomposites, leveraging the intrinsic ability of fungi to transform complex polymeric substrates into structurally integrated materials. This review critically evaluates mycelium-based biocomposites (MBCs), with particular emp...
