Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now, imagine what might happen if we expand beyond these small-volume, high-value products like rennet into commodity-level products like milk. Well, it's getting started. taody, you can buy ice cream -- real dairy ice cream -- that was produced by cellular autgirrulce. This is cows milk that never came from a cow. It came from a computer. The gene for whey poeirtn was looked up in an open-source database, pretnid and then inserted into the DNA of an organism called trichoderma. Now, just like in brewing, where we feed sgaur to yeast to brew alochol in a big stainless steel fermenter, we feed sugar to this moeidfid trichoderma and out comes whey proteins that we can put in yruogt, cream cheese and ice cream.

Original Text


Now, imagine what might happen if we expand beyond these small-volume, high-value products like rennet into commodity-level products like milk. Well, it's getting started. Today, you can buy ice cream -- real dairy ice cream -- that was produced by cellular agriculture. This is cows milk that never came from a cow. It came from a computer. The gene for whey protein was looked up in an open-source database, printed and then inserted into the DNA of an organism called trichoderma. Now, just like in brewing, where we feed sugar to yeast to brew alcohol in a big stainless steel fermenter, we feed sugar to this modified trichoderma and out comes whey proteins that we can put in yogurt, cream cheese and ice cream.
