Abstract
The use of algae, bacteria, and yeasts as food for man or feed for animals has been the subject of considerable discussion in both the scientific and technological literature and in the popular press in recent years. This interest has arisen largely as a result of the need for additional food supplies in chronic food‐shortage areas of the world and for food for life‐support of astronauts on extended space missions. We direct out attention here to the most recent literature and attempt to analyze the current status of the use of these microorganisms for either food or feed with projections to possible applications in the future.Keywords
