KEY POINTS

Synthetic biology

·        A demand for low-calorie sugar led to the processed foods industry seeking synthetic biology.

·        A scalable route to a superior sugar substitute normally found in minute quantities in stevia leaves.

·        Changing consumer preferences and investments in zero-calorie alternatives made by synthetic biology have led to a 50% decline in global sugar prices in the last decade.

·        A company has built a proprietary database of 75,000 bio-molecules derived from soil microbes alone. It calls this a “metagenomic database

·        Ability to read nature in a quick and affordable manner out in the field has been powered by low-cost DNA sequencing technology, thus forming the basis of modern industrial revolution.

·        Here the requirement of labour is drastically minimized, but the technology is highly advanced.

·        For example, a leading vegan hamburger company utilises Pichia pastoris to produce heme molecules that recreate the taste and aroma of animal blood without having to kill animals at all.

·        The only way to improve people’s quality of life and reduce their impact on the environment is through biology, leading to the creation of industry 5.0.

·        The world will witness a new paradigm in manufacturing, with biology, and a new paradigm with deep implications for the health of our planet and for all its residents.
