Soma Biotech
Tracing its origins to a developer of custom genetically-manipulated microbes for industrial use, Soma Biotech has advanced and expanded with breathtaking speed to become a major player in biotechnology, biochemical engineering, and biomaterials; pharmaceuticals; implant manufacture; healthcare; and analytical testing. It has also diversified into the field of agriculture and food processing via its expertise in genetic engineering of crops and livestock, and its high-output bioreactors now provide over 25% of food and organic molecules produced in the Zalenga Free Economic Zone, though a significant portion of this production flows into its own supply chains, destined for biomaterials and pharmaceuticals.
Common genetic modifications in its agricultural strains range from improved yield and nutrient supplementation to terminator genes and pesticide resistance.
Soma Biotech has repeatedly been accused of engineering biological pathogens in order to create a market for its medical and agricultural products, though these claims remain unproven.
