17:25>> and you can trace because this carbon is a 13 instead of a 12. It's a little bit heavier. >> Yeah. >> So, you can trace how this carbon 13 goes through that entire chemical pathway, right? Because some of those molecules are going to be a little bit heavier than the other ones. >> Yep. >> Right. Yes, >> cuz it's got one extra neutron. >> And what you can what you can show is atom by atom the carbon traveled along this zanthamatin path pathway. So through the factory you can see okay now it's on the floor now it's there. Now it's getting this you know >> there's an indicator that allows us to see the the through line of the entire process to know that we're actually routing through the factory. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you can confirm that this is what's happening right?
18:05There's nothing else that's weird. And then finally, you know, you get this optimized e- puma zanthamatin strain that I in 72 hours you get a bunch of your pigment a,000 times more than what you were getting earlier for a lot less work. I mean obviously a lot of work into doing this but now that you can do it
