Recent Advances in Sustainable Yeast-Based Single-Cell Protein Production from Renewable Substrates Using Engineering Approaches.
Review in Journal of microbiology and biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Yeast-based single-cell protein (SCP) has emerged as a promising sustainable protein source due to its high protein content, favorable nutritional profile, and ability to utilize renewable feedstocks. The conversion of food-processing wastes, agricultural by-products, and one-carbon substrates into protein-rich biomass supports waste valorization and circular bioeconomy strategies. However, efficient utilization of these diverse feedstocks remains challenging due to variations in substrate composition and microbial metabolic capacity. Recent advances in metabolic engineering, cell wall engineering, adaptive laboratory evolution, random mutagenesis, and fermentation optimization have improved substrate utilization, biomass formation, and protein accumulation in yeasts. These developments have expanded the potential applications of yeast-based SCP in protein supplements, meat products, flavoring agents, and animal feed. This review provides a comprehensive overview of yeast species for SCP production, renewable feedstock utilization, engineering approaches for enhancing biomass and protein accumulation, and the emerging applications of yeast-based SCP in sustainable food and feed systems.
