Detailed Solution

Bacterial species Methylophilus methylotrophus has a high rate of biomass production and can be expected to produce 25 tonnes of proteins
Many organisms that form a rich source of SCP can be easily grown on materials like waste water from potato processing plants, straw, molasses, animal manure and even sewage.
Single celled protein is a protein rich biomass that can be used as a food. The term SCP is however misleading as it can be obtained not only from unicellular but also multicellular organisms.
