Stability-Integrated Industrialization Leveraging Key plasmids

As far as the eye can see lies the vast expanse of land, where a uniquely advantageous geographical environment nurtures diverse microbial communities, scattered across it like jewels of silk.

Drawn by their shimmering glow, we journeyed through mountain lakes, exploring the natural tales these fungi unfolded.

But at the same time, we are aware that the world today...
Rising CO₂ levels, the altered global environment

The traditional chemical industry bears part of the responsibility for this.

A chemical plant with an annual ethylene production capacity of 1 million tons consumes approximately 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually,

equivalent to: The annual electricity consumption of 1 million households (calculated at 1,000 kWh per household per year). Enough to support the residential electricity needs of a medium-sized city with a population of 500,000.

Compared to traditional chemical industries, biomanufacturing products are greener, more environmentally friendly, and lower in carbon emissions. Several countries have already introduced relevant policies. According to the OECD's report The Bioeconomy to 2030, the global bioeconomy could account for 2.7% to 4.5% of global GDP by 2030, with biomanufacturing serving as a core component.

But is the reality truly so rosy?
