MODERATORS
I'd love to have a couple of those reactors to brew some B12.
Exactly my thought. It's interesting news, but the ability to reliably produce it at the hobbyist/DIY level is what's crucial to me; otherwise, it might as well be any of the other widely available lab-grown vegan B12 sources.
Me too ! Do you think it can be bought ? Or at least can we find blueprints ?
We probably need some of the original cultivar of algae to grow (clone). I'm not sure if they can be exported (sold) dry.
The application is often called algaculture or algaeculture, but it's micro in this case, so look for micro-algae.
It is probably a heavily guarded secret. Profits and all.
Imagine you just add Spirolina to your Vegan meal, jot any of that reinforced stuff, and it just works!
