Multiple genetic pathways could be consolidated into synthetic chromosomes (a) to reprogram yeast metabolism and bestow it with new engineered traits (e.g., C1-utilization and sensory and nutritional food attributes) (b). Through the use of intelligent bioreactors capable of controlling the expression of specified engineered genetic pathways, yeast cellular physiology could be shaped to tune yeast biomass food properties (c). Microbial 3D-printed food technologies would allow manufacturing food personalized to individual preferences with minimal waste (d).
