Current food production practices contribute significantly to climate change. To transition into a sustainable future, a combination of new food habits and a radical food production innovation must occur. Single-cell protein from microbial fermentation can profoundly impact sustainability. This review paper explores opportunities offered by gas fermentation to completely replace our reliance on fossil fuels for the production of food. Together with synthetic biology, designed microbial proteins from gas fermentation have the potential to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and make food production more sustainable.
当前的食品生产实践对气候变化有重大影响。为了过渡到可持续的未来，必须结合新的饮食习惯和激进的食品生产创新。微生物发酵的单细胞蛋白可以对可持续性产生深远影响。本文综述探讨了气体发酵为我们提供的机会，以完全取代我们对生产食品的化石燃料的依赖。与合成生物学相结合，气体发酵设计的微生物蛋白有可能减少我们对化石燃料的依赖，使食品生产更加可持续。
