Zymergen vs Antheia

Zymergen was an Emeryville machine-learning-driven biomanufacturing company; after its lead bio-electronics film Hyaline flopped post-IPO, it was sold to Ginkgo Bioworks in 2022 and wound down.

Antheia uses engineered yeast fermentation to manufacture plant-inspired pharmaceutical ingredients such as thebaine without growing the source crops.
