… non-GMO? How do you manage that? Is a culture considered non-GMO as long as you’re just pipetting colonies around and hoping for the them to be stressed the right way to evolve something useful?
- kurthr 4y agoWell, otherwise just about every plant and animal we use in agriculture would be GMO for the last 1000 years.
