A method of producing a product comprising biomass, the method comprising:
- (a) introducing (i) a carbon source, (ii) a nitrogen source, and (iii) at least one source of electron donors or electron acceptors into a reactor comprising Xanthobacter microorganisms, wherein the reactor comprises an environment that is suitable for culturing the Xanthobacter microorganisms;
- (b) using the Xanthobacter microorganisms in the presence of the at least one source of electron donors or electron acceptors, converting the carbon source and the nitrogen source into biomass of the Xanthobacter microorganisms, wherein the biomass of the Xanthobacter microorganisms comprises protein in a quantity that is greater than 10% of the total biomass.
