Geneticists at Lesaffre have mastered tools of genetic engineering and possess tried and true expertise in bacterial function and metabolic pathways, wielding this knowledge to generate modified strains.
But that’s just the beginning, for then the most promising, high-yield strain – the proverbial needle in the haystack – remains to be identified. Though they generally have academic or research backgrounds, and have possibly even published their research, make no mistake: this is industrially applied science.
