Malnutrition is a big problem in India and other parts of the world. We can use various microbes for production of single cell protein to solve malnutrition problem. The scientists are trying this problem by using various microbes such as algae, bacteria, fungi and yeast. In the present paper, literature is surveyed and critically examined regarding SCP production.
