Final yields & platform implications

18:24>> created the system. >> Yeah. 2.4 g per liter >> of zanthamatin powder. So this is this is you know >> it's not only going to transform let's say the camouflage and the cosmetics but I think what what to me what really struck was the way in which they did this >> right this biosynthetic >> hijacking of the metabolism >> right >> we we now have sort of this plug-andplay platform again I don't mean to bring up the crisper analogy again but it's it's similar in the sense that other research teams are going to be able take the insight from how you can basically facilitate biosynthesis.

19:04>> Yeah. >> By this sort of like uh this pathway that advantages those that go through the factory that produce what you want it to >> and you can apply that to any number of other >> of biosynthetic >> outputs that you're looking for and like that's >> that's the that's the key insight. No, which obviously >> yeah I think and and you know you can accelerate production of antibiotics plant alkalides polyetes all sorts of >> that's fascinating >> biochemical things and you can make the the factory itself be different right because all you need is something that releases a C1 molecule it's a molecule with a single carbon so it can be a for the formate pathway the formaldahhide

19:46pathway who knows even like CO2 you could you could hijack respiration itself in the mitochondria right it it leads to I mean that's probably a lot harder because there's so many more steps but >> you know >> knowing that there's a stage one entry point to utilizing this as a methodology >> for biosynthesis means that there are any number of other use cases that with some amount of additional research are going to be unlocks I mean this is actually really >> it's really cool I thought it was really really fascinating um so so we're going to be able to have uh uh makeup that's color changing we're going to be able to have uh uh uh all your vehicle is going

20:27to be laced with this octtopi camouflage. So if you're driving at night and you want to go night mode, >> you have a plant-based display. I don't know [laughter] like all sorts of stuff, dude. >> That's that's actually okay. So this is this is out of UCSD. >> They've they've now sort of created a platform for mass producing >> uh octopus camouflage, >> but it is a platform that can now be extrapolated into other arenas. Yeah. >> Uh, this is a paper out of Nature Biotechnology. Uh, that's a great that's a great story. >> Yeah, that was cool. I thought that was really cool. >> Fascinating story. We're going to move
