Abstract

The ever increasing deficit of protein on the globe has made it necessary to search for its new sources. Due to this reason attention was focussed on the fungusB. theobromae Pat. cultivated on the carbohydrates medium. Its protein content converted into dry matter claims on the average 12.5 %, whereof the digestible protein constitutes a half of that value. The analysis of aminoacid composition has revealed that the protein is not of full value in the sense of nourishment, since it does not contain methionine. Nevertheless, it may be looked upon as a certain kind of protein supplement to the food of reared animals, because it is deprived of any dangerous aflatoxins and antibiotic substances.
