The enormous interest in augmenting the world s supply of protein from microbial sources (135) has focussed much attention on this source of protein as a nutrient for animals as well as humans. However, there is some evidence that if intact yeast cells are included in a diet, the tough polysaccharide-containing cell wall may constitute at least a partial barrier in the effective utilization of the protein of the cytoplasm. One reason for this is the absence of enzymes in the digestive tract of humans and most warm-blooded animals capable of hydrolyzing the microfibrillar / -glucan component of the cell wall (135,136). Other factors may include the inability of the proteolytic enzymes of the digestive track to make effective contact with the cells protein.
