Microbial amino acid/protein production using nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria without animal- or crop-derived nutrients
Yuji Haraguchi et al. introduce a sustainable method for cultivating microorganisms using nutrient extracts from nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria.The approach supports microbial growth and the production of essential amino acids and recombinant proteins, offering a promising alternative to traditional animal-or crop-based nutrient sources.This work has broad implications for reducing environmental impact in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
