#said Newman, chief science officer of Amyris. Some believe this kind of work marks the beginning of a third industrial revolution#one based on using living systems as#oebio-factories#for creating substances that are either too tricky
On Wednesday, Amyris announced another milestone#a memorandum of understanding with Brazil s largest low-cost airline, GOL Linhas Aereas, to begin using a jet fuel produced by yeast starting in 2014.
such as local buses and Amyris s experiment with GOL s planes. But dozens of other products are close to market,
Amyris has become a legend in the field that sits at the intersection of biology and engineering,
Newman and two other young post-docs#eith Kinkead Reiling and Neil Renninger#started Amyris in 2003 and set their sights on artemisinin,
As of this month, Amyris said its partner, pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, has manufactured 35 tons of artemisinin#roughly equivalent to 70 million courses of treatment.
Concerns about risks The early scientific breakthroughs by the Amyris founders paved the way for dozens of other companies to do similar work.
Amyris s Newman says he is confused by environmental groups criticism and points to the final chapter of Rachel Carson s#oesilent Spring##the seminal book that is credited with launching the environmental movement.
and primitive algae has resulted in drug and biofuel companies such as Amyris and LS9. But figuring out how to make changes in the genomes of more complicated organisms has been tough.
including Amyris of Emeryville, California, and South San francisco-based Solazyme, LS9 struggled for funding in 2008 and early 2009 because of the drop in oil prices and the economic downturn,
Amyris biotechnologies, one of the leading start-up firms deploying the tools of synthetic biology in the biofuels field,
