Abstract

Protein production from Clostridium pas teurianum (ATCC 6013, Winogradsky) was maximized on sugar beet molasses and proved to be of good quality as compared to other microbial single cell protein sources. Protein from C. pasteurianum was evaluated by the following criteria: chemical score 47-50 (sulfur amino acids limiting), protein efficiency ratio 0.9 to 1.3, biological value 66.6~ 4.3 and digestibility 78.0~ 1.5. Physiological change occurred in some of the rats receiving the diets supplemented with this bacterium compared to control rats, as indicated by variations in organ morphology and cecum microflora. Low level agglutination titers against whole cells of C. pasteurianum were obtained from sera of some of the test rats. Further evaluation of protein from C. pasteurianum is recommended.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
