Well you can edit the yeast to manufacture all kinds of organic chemicals.
From the previous time I heard this they had a yeast strain that produced some sort of opioid. So you can probably see how that would be valuable, if you had a strain of yeast which you can replicate endlessly and have them transform sugar into pharmaceuticals.
And opioids are quite a simple thing. I’ve no idea what they’re referring to with this specific thing, the opioid thing was some years ago.
I understand the chemical process. Everything else is where I’m lost.
