Edible mixotrophic-borne proteinic food products and methods thereof

An edible mixotrophic-borne product comprising a composition of mixotrophic borne edible proteins of mixotrophic microorganisms, the proteins selected from Group A of proteins and from Group B of proteins, and wherein said edible mixotrophic-borne product is characterized by:

• at least a two-fold increased intensity of said mixotrophic borne edible proteins selected from Group A and at least a two-fold increased intensity of said mixotrophic borne edible proteins selected from Group B, both compared to control.

A method of obtaining an edible mixotrophic-borne product, the method comprising the steps of culturing microorganisms under uninterrupted continuous mixotrophic conditions in a photobioreactor with intensity of light, wavelengths at a range of 300 and 700 nm, between 100 to 7,000 lux/liter;

• flux of photons to surface of said photobioreactor is between 10 to 2500 micro-Einstein (μE, m−2s−1);
• and providing growth medium along at least last three to six days of pre-harvesting with glucose as an organic carbon source at a concentration of 0.1 to 40 grams per liter and optionally producing a proteinic product from said edible mixotrophic-borne product.
