MPX BOOST Single Cell Protein

MicroHarvest GmbH is a microbial protein company with its listed address in Hamburg, Germany, and a second office in Lisbon, Portugal. It ferments microbes on agricultural side streams to make single-cell protein for feed, pet food and food uses, and lists the HILIX, MPX CARE and MPX BOOST products.

MPX BOOST is a single-cell protein made from marine bacteria by fermentation and marked non-GMO. It is aimed at reducing fishmeal in feed for young animals and carnivorous species, and the company has scaled its process to 10 tonnes per day in a single vessel with unnamed aqua feed producers running trials.
