Abstract
A method for heating microbial cells includes contacting of the cells, which are in a suitable medium forming a dispersion therewith, with heated C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 hydrocarbons at preselected conditions of time, temperature and pressure sufficient for removal of the water. The dewatered cells are then suitably separated from the hydrocarbon heating medium whereby the cells are available for their intended use.
