Media Development in Fermentation: Feeding Engineered Cells Well

Synthetic biology often describes engineered cells by what they can make. A yeast strain makes a protein. A bacterium makes a pigment. A microbe produces a chemical precursor. A cell factory turns a pathway into a product. That language is useful, but it can make the cell sound as if it runs on intention. It does not. It runs on matter, energy, water, minerals, and the conditions that decide how those inputs move through metabolism.
