“What makes Ginkgo cutting edge is the automation and
scale,” Greenhagen explains of the company co-founded in
2008 by synthetic biologist Tom Knight ’69, SM ’79, PhD ’83.
“Using robots, we can genetically modify hundreds of yeast
strains and test how they perform in just one week.”
Ginkgo Bioworks’ automation played a critical role in creating
the yeast strain that Greenhagen observed in the Mexico City
manufacturing plant. These microbes, containing a set of
enzymes needed to turn fatty acids into lactones, were
engineered through thousands of trial-and-error experiments
performed by robots. For each enzyme encoded in the final
strain, a team of scientists and machines led by Greenhagen
had tested hundreds of versions originating from diverse plant
species and strategically mutated in different ways to work
more efficiently in yeast cells.
During the testing process, researchers grew thousands of
yeast strains, each genetically engineered for a single enzyme,
in small tabletop fermenters before combining the most
effective genetic modifications into a single cell to produce
lactones. Ten years ago, when Greenhagen first started in
industry, fermenting was a labor-intensive process done by
hand, requiring a single researcher to manage four reactors at
a time. In contrast, members of Greenhagen’s team — using
robots to mix different concentrations of nutrients, add yeast
extract, and monitor the output of desired molecules —
routinely managed 24 experiments simultaneously. As a result
of automation, the development process took six months
instead of a year and half. After a purification process, the
developed scent could then be delivered to Robertet, a French
fragrance and flavor manufacturer and Ginkgo’s first
commercial customer. “The robots don’t just speed up
projects,” Greenhagen says, “they take care of the monotonous
tasks so that we have more time to think about results and
design new experiments — the fun stuff that scientists really
want to do.”
