Making Clothes from Yeast

[Forever Wort]

Very cool.

"The medium has a feeder and a culture which creates a curd on top which we use then as the textile... the broth needs a medium to eat so it can be tea, coffee, red wine or molasses; wonderfully each one of these mediums gives a different answer ... we are in the early days of exploring but I know that coffee can give a different texture. It is amazing to think that you can use different food to create a different textile."

You paying your yeast minimum wage?

 

[Forever Wort]

Probably more than that if you total the cost of fermentables they need to get fed to produce an entire garment!

Reminds me of this idea for a SF story I had recently of the evolution of a race of gigantic yeastmen, basically walking yeast colonies who would go around and spontaneously ferment stuff when they were hungry. That story didn't get very far, I wonder why....

Id say lingerie is probably not yet on the horizon. It wouldn't be good PR having a Vic Secret model come down with an infection.
