Apparently a hydrogen-oxidising bacterium known as Cupriavidus Necator, per https://allfed.info/images/pdfs/Food_in_space_from_hydrogen_...
(I would never have found this before AI search)

It says that it's a biorecator:
"To put that in perspective, Solar Foods explains that the newly-built factory’s bioreactor can grow the same amount of Solein protein per day as a 300-cow dairy farm would produce milk protein"
Is your complaint that they don't specify the micro-organism?

Yes. Bacteria? Fungi? Yeast? Algae? GMO hybrid of all four? It's weird. Are they even going to tell the customers? I didn't find a single clue online.

Well they say "Solein, protein out of thin air, is not a plant nor an animal. It originates from a natural, non-modified, single-cell organism" so my guess is that the specific micro-organism is a trade secret to protect their business, not because it's like, people. But you could always email them to ask. Maybe it is people.
