Kyomei

Addressing these concerns, Kyomei has developed a first-in-class protein production platform using plants as bioreactors growing animal proteins for the alternative meat industry. Arising out of the University of Oxford, Kyomei was founded by a rigorous team of experienced plant scientists, molecular biologists and entrepreneurs who believe in the power of plants and photosynthesis to produce proteins naturally and sustainably. We have built a plant-based production system producing animal proteins to prove it and power the next generation of meat alternatives. Could we use plants not simply as a source of protein but as a production system to naturally produce the meat proteins themselves. While plant protein production systems have seen success in high value protein production, the difficulty has always been yield at scale.
