Biotechnology: Opiates made in yeast from scratch
Nature 524, 7565 (2015). doi:10.1038/524268d
Engineered strains of laboratory yeast can make small quantities of opiates that are used in pain medications, such as hydrocodone.Poppy farms are currently the main source of opiates, but production is uncertain because of weather, pests and other factors. Christina Smolke of Stanford University
