most forms of genetically modified yeast, at the dizzying rate of more than 1, 500 a day.
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.
Much of the early hype surrounding this technology was about biofuels#the dream of engineering colonies of yeast that could produce enough fuel to power whole cities.
Reengineering yeast Since it was founded a decade ago, Amyris has become a legend in the field that sits at the intersection of biology and engineering,
Their first target was yeast. The product of millions of years of evolution, the single-celled organism was capable of a miraculous feat:
Could they tinker with some genes in the yeast to create a biological machine capable of producing medicine?
Now scientists in a lab in Denmark believe they ve created a type of vanilla flavoring produced by yeast that they say will be more satisfying to the palate and cheaper at the same time.
#oeneither brewer s or baker s yeast is identical to yeast in the wild. I m comfortable that if beer is natural,
Re-engineered yeast can now do the job in vats, so the farmers have lost their product.
