Title: Low energy method of manufacturing high-grade protein using blue-green algae of the genus Spirulina

Abstract

Algae are well suited to replace many conventional sources of protein because of their efficient use of energy, land, and raw materials. The most promising genus, Spirulina, is compared with conventional protein sources on the bases of energy efficiency, land usage, and production costs.
