Title:
Edible protein substances composed of fungal mycellium
Abstract:
An edible protein-containing substance is produced by incubating and proliferating, under aerobic conditions, a nontoxic strain of the genus Fusarium or a variant or mutant thereof, in a culture medium containing essential growth-promoting nutrient substances, of which carbon in the form of assimilable carbohydrate constitutes the limited substrate in proliferation, and separating the proliferated organism comprising the edible protein-containing substance. Novel strains and variants of Fusarium graminearum are disclosed.
