Biohackers are engineering baker's yeast to produce Real Vegan Cheese

In plain words

A team of biohackers is using genetic engineering to modify baker's yeast so it can produce the proteins needed to make real cheese without animal milk. The project, launched in 2014, aims to create an alternative cheese product through synthetic biology. It targets people interested in vegan food, biotechnology, and sustainable alternatives to traditional dairy cheese production.
