Ginkgo (Bioworks) is the first company in synthetic biology to become a ‘unicorn,’ meaning a private valuation of more than $1 billion. Ginkgo bills itself as the “orgnism company,” and its bioengineers design and build custom microbes. Originally its microbes were mostly used to synthesize flavors or fragrances derived from plants. In one case Ginkgo partnered with a French perfume company to create a rose fragrance by extracting the genes from real roses, injecting them into yeast, and then engineering the microbe’s biosynthetic pathways to produce the smell of a rose -- which, it turns out, smells just as sweet when emited from a genetically-modified yeast. The company is also working on extracting DNA molecules form preserved plant specimens to synthesize the fragrances of flowers that have gone extinct, like a hibiscus from Maui that vanished from the wild around 1911. ~ Page 228
