We use next-generation sequencing data to design genetically and metabolically matched nutrient substrates for enhanced bio-function and production. Our nutrients can be supplemented into culture settings to stimulate cell growth for any type of cell. Our nutrients are organic, chemically defined and very cost-effective. Our technology could be a huge difference-maker for fermentation and lab-cultivated meat production. Our nutrients could also be used to augment plant-based protein in downstream processing, or applied to crops as a sustainable and more eco-friendly non-synthetic fertilizer.
