it’s the yeast we can do!
The Wild Yeast Zoo is a citizen science program on a mission to find wild yeast and build a library of these tiny superheros.
Microbes like yeast are nature’s tiny wyzards…
They’re capable of magical feats of transformation. Even your body needs them to digest food, protect against infection and maintain reproductive health.
Incredibly, we can harness the genius of yeast to stop using fossil fuels to create ingredients we need for food and medicines, the materials we need for clothes and building, the chemicals we need for biofuels and manufacturing. They can even to break down toxic waste!
99.999 percent of the world’s ~1 trillion microbes are undiscovered… but they are the key to a sustainable future.
