Notes:
The mass production of SCP on the base of hydrocarbons opens the possibility to get a complex of further substances. It is distinguished between by-products - belonging to essential nonprotein - structures of the growing cell and the so - called coupled products accumulating intra - or extracellularly by means of regulation. An important principle of SCP-coupled synthesis of products is the use and the maintenance of proportionality between the growth rate and cell concentration of the producing cells and the accumulation of products. As examples are discussed: fermentation by yeasts and bacteria on the base of n-alkanes, methane and methanol in connection with products as fatty acids, poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid, citric and gluconic acid.
