When strain YZH is used in a nitrogen containing medium as taught in this invention, it can produce a single cell protein solution enriched in more than twenty (2⊘) amino acids and a variety of trace elements and vitamins. Analysis of 1⊘⊘ml samples of the nutrient solution produced by YZH is found to contain the following range of substances : 35⊘-8⊘⊘ mg of amino acids, ⊘.2 - ⊘.5 mg of Vitamin E , ⊘.⊘5 - ⊘.1 mg Vitamin B2 , ⊘.7 - 1.⊘ mg Vitamin PP or Niacin , ⊘.⊘4 - ⊘.⊘8 ppm Se , ⊘.2 - ⊘.5 ppm Zn , ⊘.8 - ⊘.24 ppm Mo, ⊘.⊘8 - ⊘.24 ppm Co, ⊘.⊘5 - ⊘.⊘6 ppm Mn, ⊘.⊘7 - ⊘.2 ppm Cu and ⊘.1 - ⊘.7 ppm Fe ; 1.21 - 1.38g dry substance , 1.21 - 2.2 g proteins. ⊘.11-⊘.13g lipids, and other substances. The process for producing 851 YZH NS through the use of the YZH pseudomonas includes the following steps: A culture medium for cultivating YZH is placed in a conventional fermentation tank which is equipped with a mixing means and gas inlet/outlet means so that the tank content can be homogenized and also aerated by the introduciton of filtered aspectic air needed by YZH and other attendent microorganisms during the period of culturing. The culture medium is soybeans or starch or other suitable materials as provided herein. It is seeded in a two-step processes using a first, second 851 YZH seed culture for 38-54 hours. After the seeding is completed , the resulting thallus is inoculated into a pre-autoclaved production medium of soybeans, starch or other suitble material for a third continuous culture or incubation. The production medium can contain other materials such as nutritionally important trace elements in addition to soybeans or starch as is described before. Once the thallus has been inoculated for about 24- 72 hours with filtered aspetic air passing through the mass. Incubation conditions are: aeration rate of 1 :⊘.6-1.2(mass/air) v/v min; mixing speed of 18⊘-26⊘ rpm; and the temperature of 28-38°C. After the incubation is finished, the resulting cultured broth is autoclaved and harvested. The broth ( nutrient solution , or liquid ) can be packaged directly to give a product suitble for human use. Alternative produces can also be obtained to fulfill a variety of needs by means of other processing. For example , the culture solution can be centrifuged and precipitated and then the filtrated by a thin membrane or super filtration to give a product which can be edible directly by human and animals. Furthermore , the filtrated solution is further extracted with an organic solvents such as alochol , acetone ethylacetate or extracted with column extractor such as ion exchange column, wide-aperture resin column to give a final product , which contans a concentrated nutrition components. The culture solution can be added in any optional way into foods or drugs to produce a product containing 851 YZH pesudomona. The solution can also be dried to give a solid product , and the solution can be use as a replacement for water and eggs in the baking of bread , cakes and the like , or in other foods. The culture solution can also be used in cosmetic preparation. In the method described above , the following production media have been used. Components are listed by weight with water making up the remainder. Proper amounts of trace elements necessary to the human body in addition to the these media are added. The benzoic acid or sodium benzoate can also be used in said media. The amounts of such elements are typically in the range of 1.5-1⊘⊘ppm. 1.

The 851 YZH nutrient solution , used as is , or in any of its forms, possesses salutory effects including promoting or protecting the health of the animals , especially inhibiting the growth of cancer cells in vivo and in vitro in animals and human. In order to more fully demonstrate the salutary effects of 851 YZH NS and it derivative, the following experiments and their results are presented. Experiment 1, Anti-lipid Peroxidative Effect The oxygen free radical, hydroxy free radical and peroxide, especially lipid peroxide in the human and animals body are one of reasons of killing cells and causing the acute and chronic diseases and senility of human and animals. Some foods or drugs having an effect of direct or indirect anti-lipid peroxide may be able to provent from corcers or tumors and from senility of human and animals who do not have a enough ability of anti-peroxide or have a hyperactivity of lipid peroxide.(Harman, D Free Radicals in Mol, Biol, Aging & Diseases 1984, Raven Press, New York, pp1-12). Kunming mice weighing 17.8 ± 1.75g were used and randomly divided into several groups (A.B.C ) of 1⊘ mice each according to body weight. One of these group was the control group (A), all mice were given the same diet and mice of group (C) except the control group and group (B) was given 851 YZH nutrient solution for 13 consecutive days. Group A and B were given tap water. All mice were tasted at the 14th day. After tasting , mice of group (A ) was administrated paraffin oil (a dissolvent of CCl₄ ) at the 14th day, interperitoneally at about 4 p. m. The mice of group (B) and group (C) were administrated with CCl₄ intraperitoneally at the 14th day at 4 p. m. The amount of administration was 1.87m mol/kg. On the 15th day , the animals were sacrificed and liver samples were prepared . Malonaldehyde (MDA) in the liver was analyzed according to the method of Hiroshi Ohkawa et al. ( Anal. Biochem , 95 :351 - 356 (1979 ) ). 1 ,1,3,3 - tetramethoxypropane (Japan TCI, E, P, Grade) was used as the standard for the analysis of lipid peroxide. MDA was spectrophotometrically determined in n mol/ g and the data were statistically analzsed (H±SD). The results were given below: Group No.of mice MDA n mol/g liver P value compared to control group(A) compared to CCl4 group (B) control (A) 1⊘ 119.5 27.2 - - CCl₄ (B) 1⊘ 1698.9 287.6 <⊘.⊘⊘1 - CCl₄ 851YZH (C) 9 135⊘.2 17⊘.8 <⊘.⊘⊘1 <⊘.⊘1 The results indicate that 851 YZH NS possesses potent anti-liquid peroxide activity by substantially lowing the MDA level. This property might be useful in combating aging. Experiment 2 Effect of 851 YZH NS on the hemoglobin and leucocyte total and classification of WBC of new-born mice. Twelve (12) pregnant Kunming mice were fed normal diet and tap water. After parturition , the twelve mice , with their respective newborn, were randomly divided into control group (A ) and an 851 YZH NS test group (B ). The above noted mice of control group A were maintained on normal diet and tap water , mice of group B , however , had their diet supplemented with 851 YZH NS during the suckling period and after weaning. The test duration ran for 15 days after weaning. At the end of the 15 day period , a blood sample of the newborn mice was taken from the eyeball of the newborn mice for analysis. The results were as follow: Effect of 851 YZH NS on leucocyte total and hemoglubin Group No. newborn Hemoglubin (g.x±SD) P total WBC (X1⊘ /mm X±SD) P control (A) 34 1⊘.⊘±1.2 - 5.373±1.⊘4⊘ - 851 YZH (B) 33 1⊘.7±1.⊘ <⊘.⊘1 6.279±1.91⊘ <⊘.⊘5 Effect of 851 YZH NS on classification of WBC Group no. newborn neutrohil (% x±SD) P1 Lymphocyte (% X±SD) P2 Control (A) 34 58±1⊘ - 42±9 - 851 YZH NS(B) 33 41±11 <⊘.⊘⊘1 59±11 <⊘.⊘⊘1 The above data indicate that the feeding of 851 YZH NS, which contains more than 2⊘ amino acid , several different vitamins and various trace elements , results in an increase in lymphocytes in the newborn mice which can be take as a stimulation and improvement of a mouse's ability to produce these cells. Experiment 3 Therapeutic effect of 851 YZH NS on acute injury to the gastric mucosa of rats. 16 male and female Wistar rats , weighting 22⊘±2⊘g, were used in this experiment. These rats were randomly divided into control group (A) and 851 YZH NS group (B). Group A was fed a normal diet and given tap water. Group B had a diet containing 851 YZH NS , each of them had about 8ml of the solution a day. After being fed for 15 day , two groups of rats had nothing to eat for 14 hours. Each rat was given 2.5mg indomethacin, once daily, for two days. Two days later, the rats were sacrificed and their stomaches removed and washed and observed under the naked eyes. 6 rats in group A, 2 rats in group B had acute bleeding in the gastric mucosa , but bleeding of mice in group A were significantly more severe. The bleeding in gastric mucosa of 6 group A rats and 2 groups B were locally restricted as to being spotted , stripped or stretched. Diffure hemorrhaging of the gastric mucosa occured in one group A rat. However , whereas the group A showed 6 - 12 spot hemorrhages , the 851 YZH NS group showed only 2 - 5 spot hemorrhages. There results indicate that the adminstration of 851 YZH NS can significantly reduce gastric mucosal bleeding. Experiment 4 Effect of 851 YZH NS on the human chronic gastritis 2⊘ patients with chronic gastritis were diagnosed with the pathological examination. They were 21 - 62 years old , 1⊘ male and 1⊘ female, and the all had obvious clinical symptoms. The all patients were randomly divided into two groups , control group and test group , each group was 1⊘ patients. The control group was administrated with vitamin C for 21 days. The test group was adminstrated orally with 851 YZH NS , three times a day , 80 ml once, for 3 weeks. The results were given below: Symptoms Control group (n=1⊘) 851 YZH NS Group (n=1⊘) cure relief ratio cure relief ratio abdominal discomfirt 1/3 2/8 38 4/9 3/9 78 abdominal distension - 2/1⊘ 2⊘ 6/7 - 86 acid regurgitation - 1/7 14 2/4 - 5⊘ belching 1/9 2/9 33 3/8 2/8 63 nausea & vomit 1/4 - 25 4/5 - 8⊘ anorexia 1/7 2/7 43 4/5 1/5 1⊘⊘ As noted above , compared with the control group , 851 YZH NS can improve the clinical symptoms of stomach disorder and relieve chronic gastritis. Experiment 5 Effect of 851 YZH NS on cancer cell growth 851 YZH NS of our invention possessed a strong inhibition of carcinoma cell growth , for example human gastric adenocarcinoma cells , MGC8⊘-3 cells. Said cells were treated individually with 1⊘% , 15% and 2⊘% 851 YZH NS to give a good results. (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Experiment 6 Effect of 851 YZH NS on human cancer cell observed under the electron microscope Human gastric adenocarcinoma , MGC8⊘-3 cells, treated with 15% 851 YZH NS showed that there was an evident morphological change appeared in the cells stained with H. E. under phase contrast microscope. (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 ) In Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 scanning electron micrograph of the MGC8⊘-3 cells showed that there were abundant filopodia existed at MGC 8⊘- 3 cell's margin and microvilli densly covered their cells surface. But after the treatment of 2⊘% 851 YZH NS , the microvilli at cells surface disappeared. Said cells had long cytoplasmic projection and lamellipodia at cell margin , and emerged with many winkle-like structures and blebs. In Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, transmission electron micrograph showed that the MGC8⊘- 3 cell was characterized with high nuclear - cytoplasmic ratio, irregular nuclear shape , large nucleolus , increasing heterochromatin and non-develpomental organelles in cytoplasm etc. After the treatment of 20% 851 YZH NS for about 7 - 9 days, the MGC8⊘-3 cells had produced a series of ultrastructural changes similar to those of their corresponding normal cell , such as the nucleus (N ) was regular, neucleolus (Nu ) lessened , heterochromatin reduced and euchromatin increased , Golgi complex (G) and mitochondria (M) were developed and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER ) increased as indicated in Fig. 7. The above results indicate that 851 YZH NS takes effect on inhibiting or killing the cancer cells in vitro , even on reversing the cancer cells into their normal cells. The inhibition and killing action on the cancer cells will take place at 12 - 24 hours in the treatment of said nutrient solution , Those cells that are not killed are cultured in the nutrient solution continousely for about 7 - 9 days. They can gradually change into their corresponding normal cells. Experiment 7 The result of mice heterotransplantation with the MGC8⊘-3 cells and the cells treated with 15% 851 YZH NS 3⊘ Kunming mice , weighing 17.5±1.65g , were randomly divided into three groups (A.B.C), each group had 1⊘ mice. The all mice of groups A ,B,C were given the MGC8⊘-3 cells at the left forelegs. After feeding for 14 days , the mice were sacrificed. It was found that there were tumoriferous cases at the left foreleg armpits of all groups mice. But , the mice of group A and C were administrated with the MGC8⊘-3 cells that were treated with 15% NS for 3 days at the right forelegs. After the mice (2⊘ ) were fed for 3 days. 1⊘ mice had small tubercle at their right foreleg armpits. In addition , the mice of groups C were given the MGC8⊘-3 cells which were treated with 15% NS for 1⊘ days, at their right forelegs. None of the mice had tumer. The results indicate that 851 YZH NS has a strong inhibiting effect on cancer or tumor growth in animal body.
