litate cell attachment which is not cost-effective or sustainable.
NTU researchers have not only found a way to grow flavonoids with high anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties but also in a natural and sustainable manner. They achieved this by implanting the flavonoid-producing mechanism from plants into bakers yeast (a species known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae).
Similar to how vaccines are manufactured using yeast, the researchers found that the yeast produced flavonoids with high anti-
