Scientists discover how magic mushrooms produce psilocybin

>>9122975
Growing mushrooms is already easy, and a crude extraction is easy aswell.
Still pretty neat.

OBEY mushrooms are one of my favorite lifeforms

But now we can do fun things like clone the genes for tryptophan --> psilocybin production into cells, grow them in a big fucking vat and extract/purify that shit.

Me gusta

>>9123036
But can't we do this with mycelium already?
What would we do add a shit load of extra copies and tryptophan>?>profit?

Cells can be more efficient in production, require more basic resources, and have greater productivity per unit volume, since they're growing in liquid.

0-acetylpsilocin AKA 4-ACO-DMT is the superior DMT. psilocybin AKA O-phosphoryl-4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine is the inferior DMT.

So what kind of cells would they be
How to keep from forming a multicellular organism? An agitated bio reactor?
My microbiology is weak.

yeast are best mushrooms

Neat, I wonder if it's possible to modify it to produce DMT or similar compounds

Anyway, Fermentation is one of the most important processes in the biological world and in the history of humanity.

what if we put the gene for tryptophan --> psilocybin into lactobacillus or some other probiotic.

1 pill of live active culture would be all it takes to send someone on a shroom trip for the rest of their lives! MUWHAHAHAHA!!

>Normies think probiotics actually colonize
No wonder people buy that garbage
