The invention relates to a method for improving the extractability of microbial biomass, in particular those which have been grown on a hydrocarbon basis. The invention is applicable in the technical microbiology for the production of protozoan protein. The object of the invention is a simple technological process for improving the extractability of hydrocarbon-based microbial biomass, which makes it possible to produce a quality biomass with an increased protein content, which is free of undesirable ingredients, such as hydrocarbons and fats. According to the invention, the biomass is subjected to an enzymatic hydrolytic treatment in the presence of a proteo-phospho-mannan complex. |
