A PROCESS FOR BIOSYNTHETICALLY PRODUCING A HIGH PROTEIN COMPOSITION HAVING A PROTEIN CONTENT IN EXCESS OF 50 PERCENT AND AN ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID INDEX IN EXCESS OF 45 WHICH COMPRISES CULTIVATING A MICROORGANISM SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF: PSEUDOMONAS LIGUSTRI (A.T.C.C. NO. 15522), PSEUDOMONAS PSEUDOMALLEI (A.T.C.C. NO. 15523), PSEUDOMONAS ORVILLA (A.T.C.C. NO. 15524), ALCALIGENES SP. (A.T.C.C. 15525), CELLUMONAS GALBA (A.T.C.C. NO. 15526), BREVIBACTERIUM INSECTIPHILIUM (A.T.C.C. NO. 15528), CORYNEBACTERIUM SP. (A.T.C.C. NO. 15529), AND CORYNEBACTERIUM POUROMETABOLUM (A.T.C.C. NO. 15530) ON AN N-ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON FEED IN A MEDIA COMPRISING AN AQUEOUS GROWTH MEDIUM CONTAINING OXYGEN AND OTHER ESSENTIAL CELL NUTRIENTS AT TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM ABOUT 20 TO 55*C., AND HARVESTING BY CENTRIFUGING AND SPRAY DRYING SAID MICROORGANISM CELLS.
