We harness the power of cyanobacteria - ancient photosynthetic organisms - to create valuable enzymes.
These remarkable microorganisms convert sunlight, CO2, and simple salts into precisely engineered proteins. By mimicking nature's time-tested processes, we're creating a manufacturing approach that's not only more cost-effective but also significantly gentler on our planet than traditional industrial methods.
Most life on Earth follows natural daily rhythms - including cyanobacteria. Just as humans are more active during daylight hours, these microorganisms have their own internal "clocks" that control when they're most productive. This natural cycle, while beautiful, creates a challenge: production slows down at certain times of day.
We've solved this challenge by gently adjusting these organisms' internal clocks. Through precise modifications, we've essentially created a "permanent daytime" state where production stays at peak levels around the clock. It's like switching a factory from running on limited daytime shifts to operating at full capacity 24/7. The result? Our enhanced organisms produce 30-50 times more protein than their unmodified counterparts.
