| Abstract | ||
| This investigation was carried out to study the production of Single Cell Protein (SCP) from a local isolate of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus using sugar beet molasses as medium and testing of the toxicity of the produced protein . Maximum biomass (25.71 gm / l medium), and a maximum protein percentage (49%) were obtained in the 8th day of incubation. Results of toxicity test of single cell protein produced by the fungus using the mature white Norwegian rats species Rattus norvigicus, males and females, showed that the produced protein has a toxic effect on males and females of rats fed on the diet which contain 15 gm / 100 gm of the dried cells of the fungus causing the death of all rats within a short time not exceeded 24 hour. It was clear from the results, that the wastes of some food industrial factories may be used as a good source of protein directly for animal or indirectly for man as in the sugar beet molasses that’s used in this research which represent the wastes of sugar industry. | ||
