Celebrating microbes on this National Beer Day!
Today is National Beer Day, and we thought it would be amiss to not celebrate the little microbes that not only give us tasty beer, but are what help fuel Flourish™, Shiru's novel protein ingredients discovery platform. So grab a cold drink and read this blog post from Akemi Kunibe, Shiru's Protein Scientist, as she walks us through a brief history of beer making and how this process is related to the way that Shiru creates the next generation of sustainable ingredients.
Biodiversity: the foundation of discovery, Part 1
To find new functional ingredients for the plant-based industry, we've been hard at work growing our protein database of natural sources. While a database of 450 million proteins is certainly impressive, read on to learn why we think it's time for you to pay more attention to what is arguably the heart of our database: biodiversity.
Recombinant protein production in microbes
Recombinant proteins are widely used in life-saving medicines, with recombinant insulin being one of the biggest success stories. Recently, the use of recombinant proteins in food has been gaining traction. Read this new post by Swati Choudhary (Shiru's Head of Strain Engineering) to learn more about how we're using Flourish™, our cutting-edge ingredient Discovery platform, to identify and create novel recombinant proteins and why we think it's important to utilize this technology for creating a sustainable food system.
