Just as the alchemists of yesteryear sought to convert base metals into gold, today’s most prolific innovators have their sights set on transforming simple sugars into valuable products through a process called precision fermentation.
While alchemists fell short of their aspirations, precision fermentation is not only a successful reality, but is also quickly turning into a multibillion-dollar industry that will create tens of thousands of jobs while helping the planet become more sustainable.
Precision fermentation is a processing technique that converts microorganisms and microbials into in-demand compounds. Precision fermentation processes are already capable of converting corn into ethanol and underutilized corn feedstocks into high-value…
