This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to develop microbially enhanced plant protein to replace fishmeal in aquaculture feeds. Environmental issues and commercial constraints make substituting plant protein for fishmeal a long standing goal of the aquaculture industry. Non-nutritive carbohydrates in soybeans represent a particularly difficult technical challenge in using microbial treatment to enhance soy protein. To address this challenge, this project proposes to combine innovations in rapid, multi-criteria strain isolation and screening, solid substrate culture technology and salmonid diet formulation. The principle tasks of this Phase I project are to demonstrate technical feasibility of selecting microbes to meet multiple criteria, to develop solid substrate culture processes, and to incorporate enhanced soy into trout diets. The commercial application of this project is in the area of aquaculture. A plant protein meeting requirements of the domestic trout industry and government hatcheries could find immediate commercial application in displacing approximately 25,000 tons of fishmeal. Worldwide aquaculture is forecast to consume about 2.8 million tons of fishmeal in the year 2010 with commercial value in excess of $1.5 billion. An enhanced plant protein could capture a significant share of this market.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目旨在开发微生物增强的植物蛋白，以取代水产养殖饲料中的鱼粉。环境问题和商业限制使得用植物蛋白代替鱼粉成为水产养殖业的长期目标。大豆中的非营养性碳水化合物在利用微生物处理来提高大豆蛋白质方面是一个特别困难的技术挑战。为了应对这一挑战，该项目建议将快速、多标准菌株分离和筛选、固体基质培养技术和鲑鱼饮食配方方面的创新结合起来。这个第一阶段项目的主要任务是论证选择微生物以满足多种标准的技术可行性，开发固体基质培养工艺，并将强化大豆加入鲑鱼饲料中。该项目的商业应用是在水产养殖领域。一种符合国内鲑鱼产业和政府孵化场要求的植物蛋白可以立即在商业上应用，取代大约25,000吨鱼粉。预计2010年全球水产养殖消费约280万吨鱼粉，商业价值超过15亿美元。一种增强的植物蛋白可能会在这个市场占据相当大的份额。
