Interesting start-up company. It seems to be trying to improve alage production at all stages. We could go down this route, or we could stick to GM. I think the former is less risky, the latter will have bigger pay-offs if it's successful. Conceivably we could then pair up with an oil company for a funding injection, like Exxon and Synthetic Genomics.
