My point is that synthetic versus natural is not a particularly useful line to draw here. If someone had figured out how to get tons of this stuff from bacteria, we’d be in the exact same situation.
If you can persuade people that you can make that hypothetical substance, there are a few pissed off investors around at the moment who will throw money at you.
Great to see this innovation. Good luck with your venture. I'm very hopeful that we can replace many other industrial toxic processes with clean bio alternatives
I'm not sure if that is true. E.g. we might be able to synthesize smells like we cook food, where there is little to no danger of producing toxins from innocent ingredients.
