kokoromo', our all-in-one product, contains only the best mossy abilities. For this purpose, 'kokoromo' is engineered out of four special moss species in our synbio labs via complex knock-out treatments. This allows us to first target the particular skills required from the moss genes and to derive them from their genetical modules, so that a new moss type can be assembled in the final stage and synthesized by our treehugger-scientists. | kokoromo', our all-in-one product, contains only the best mossy abilities.

"With the beginning of the chemical prime-age in the early 19th century most organics with their natural abilities have gotten replaced by new revolutionary synthetical substances as an basic material for medicine, food, constructional material and fuel. As a cause of this trend in society and industry even popular plants with former medical backround sank into oblivion with a bad reputation as unaesthetical weeds. And although we know today that even the most efficient chemical products can cause harmful side-effects on our bodys, like cancer for example, our association with chemicals and plants haven't changed that much over years.Thats why kokoromo, as a green project, trys not only to present itself as a buyable product, but also as a intermediator between modern human needs on one hand and a plants rights to exists on the other, via demonstrating new alternatives for a greener and more sustainable lifestyle in coexistance with plants."

Technical Description
kokoromo', our all-in-one product, contains only the best mossy abilities. For this purpose, 'kokoromo' is engineered out of four special moss species in our synbio labs via complex knock-out treatments. This allows us to first target the particular skills required from the moss genes and to derive them from their genetical modules, so that a new moss type can be assembled in the final stage and synthesized by our treehugger-scientists.
