Is sr-(Methionyl s-Rainbow Trout Oligopeptide-1 Schizosaccharomyces Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40) vegetarian?

This is a single-chain recombinant peptide produced by fermentation in E. coli, with a fusion gene combining sequences from Rainbow Trout Oligopeptide-1, Schizosaccharomyces Polypeptide-1, and Hexapeptide-40 plus a methionine start codon. The 392-amino-acid fusion peptide is produced biotechnologically without use of animal material.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
