Four petri dishes holding culture, growth and substance in brown colour.

Petri dishes holding growth medium. Via online DNA sequencing (never a physical specimen) Colorifix pinpoint the exact genes that lead to the production of the pigment and then translate that DNA code into their microorganism (bacteria or yeast). The resulting engineered microorganism can then produce the pigment just as it is produced in Nature.
