Candida utilis has important characteristics for the economic production of microbial biomass protein and for its supplementation in poultry and livestock feeds. The optimal conditions for microbial biomass protein production from C. utilis were 3 % (w/v) beet pulp, 0.0075 % CaCl2.2H2O, 0.125 % MgSO4.7H2O, 0.45 % KH2PO4, 0.03 % KCl at C: N ratio of 15:1 in the presence of 2 % cane molasses and 1 % corn steep liquor. The amino acid profile of final microbial biomass protein showed that it is enriched with all essential amino acids. The microbial biomass protein obtained could be employed in the protein enrichment of animal feed supplements.
