This is very cool. I had no idea yeast can produce fat. I wonder what would happen if they used something else as starting feed for the yeasts - for example linenseed pulp, which already contains fat? or fatty algae for biodiesel? or if farmers used it to ferment animal feed? This is super interesting, but if anyone wanted to use it as food in the EU, then obtaining novelty food registration is probably too costly for any small startup. Can't wait to hear about other applications of this technology.

According to the yeast feed, I think it is mainly carbohydrates, like common yeast in our live . The GMO part is how to modify the yeast yield to be fat or oils. I agree with you about the regulations, but I think it is something that can be tackled.

This is very interesting 👍. I wonder what can be done with other waste sources. I happen to have some experience growing Oyster mushrooms using a mixture of waste human hair from barbershops and sawdust. The mushrooms grew BEAUTIFULLY 🎉

I sure hope they find some other uses for it besides for human consumption! We're eating enough synthetic garbage already!
