Blue-green algae creates 'meat-like' textures: study

Cyanobacteria could be the key to solving plant-based analogue texture woes, scientists say.

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have learned to prompt a blue-green algae called cyanobacteria to grow “meat-like fibers,” publishing their findings in the journal ACS Nano.

“We have been able to get [the cyanobacteria] to produce a protein that they don’t naturally…
