alt Hacker NewsI’m genetically engineering yeasts to make subtly flavored breads. I’ve already done grape aroma, now working on wintergreen.
Also working on a red chamomile (using beat red biosynthesis). Just for fun. Red chamomile tea!
The idea is to have niche invite-only genetically engineered flavors that I can bring to parties around SF :) what’s more special than a genetically engineered organism that you can ONLY get if I’m there? Good calling card

Sounds fascinating, do you have any documentation on how you modify the yeast?

This is so cool. Also, it sounds like a cheeky plot to a zombie apocalypse or global contagion movie.
How subtle are the flavors? Unsubtle enough that an oblivious taster might ask, "Does this bread taste like grapes to anyone else here?" Or does one need guidance to search for the flavor?
