Is sr-(Methionyl r-Mussel Polypeptide-1 r-Mussel Oligopeptide-1 r-Mussel Polypeptide-1 Leucine) vegan?

This is a single-chain recombinant fusion peptide produced by fermentation in E. coli. Although its gene sequence is modeled on mussel-derived polypeptide and oligopeptide sequences, the ingredient itself is manufactured entirely via microbial fermentation and does not contain animal-derived material. The peptide contains 162 amino acids and may include disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation.

An ingredient is considered vegan if it contains no animal-derived components at any point in its production.
