設計師娜特賽 · 奧德莉 · 奇薩有個使命：減少時尚業的污染，同時創造出令人驚艷的服飾。在實驗室中，她發現天藍色鏈黴菌會產出很顯眼的紅紫色素（色彩依酸鹼度而定）。現在她用這種菌類來開發一種大膽、不褪色的織物染色法，比傳統方法的廢水與化學物用量都更少。在開發合成生物學來重新定義我們的物質未來上，她並不孤單；另有用蘑菇製成的「皮草」，和用蜘蛛絲蛋白質做成的超強力紗線。她認為我們不需要用化石燃料，而要用生物學，來建造未來。

導致我與天藍色鏈黴菌密切合作。
00:48
It is an unlikely partnership,

這是段不太可能的合作關係，
00:50
but it's one that completely transformed
my practice as a materials designer.

00:55
From it, I understood how nature

how we design and build our environments,
14
48000
2856
我們設計與建造環境的方式，
01:02
and that organisms like coelicolor

而有機體，如天藍色鏈黴菌，
01:05
were going to help us
grow our material future.

16
53360
2320
將會協助栽培出我們的物質未來。
01:08
So what's wrong with things as they are?
17
56720
2800
所以現狀有什麼不好？
01:12
Well, for the last century,
18
60560
1336
在過去一世紀，
01:13
we've organized ourselves
around fossil fuels,

19
61920

01:20
We are tethered to this resource,
and we've crafted a dependency on it

21
68080

我們被這項資源束縛住，
產生對它的依賴性，

3376
加速生物多樣性的喪失，
01:41
and even sustaining human conflict.
26
89880
1960
甚至會讓人類衝突持續。
01:44
We're living in a world
27
92640
1256
我們生活在一個
01:45
where the denial of this dependence
has become deadly.
has become deadly.
28
93920
3560
拒絕這種依賴變得致命的世界。
01:50
And its reasons are multiple,
29
98200
1936
這背後的理由有很多，
01:52
but they include the privilege
of not being affected

30
100160
4416
包括不被影響的特權，
01:56
and what I believe
is a profound lack of imagination

Fossil fuels will one day
give way to renewable energy.
give way to renewable energy.
34
114200
4616
化石燃料有一天會讓位給再生能源。
02:10
That means we need to find
new material systems
new material systems
35
118840
2376
那表示我們得要找到新的物質系統，
02:13
that are not petroleum-based.
36
121240
2096
不以石油為基礎的。
02:15
I believe that those material systems
will be biological,
will be biological,
37
123360
2720
我認為，新的物質系統會是生物的，
02:19
but what matters
is how we design and build them.
is how we design and build them.
38
127080

但重要的是我們
如何設計和建造它們。

02:22
They mustn't perpetuate

When you look at this image,
40
135960
2096
當你們看這張圖時，
02:30
what do you see?
41
138080
1200
你們看到什麼？
02:33
Well, I see a highly sophisticated
biological system,
biological system,
42
141680
3616
我看到的是一個
高度精密的生物系統，
高度精密的生物系統，
02:37
that through the use of enzymes,
43
145320
2056
透過酵素的使用，
02:39
can move and place atoms
more quickly and precisely
more quickly and precisely
44
147400
3056
它能比我們所建造出來的
任何東西都更快速、
任何東西都更快速、
02:42
than anything we've ever engineered.
45
150480
1920
更精確地移動和放置原子。
02:45
And we know that it can do this at scale.
46
153120
2760
且我們知道，它能
大規模地做到這一點。
大規模地做到這一點。
02:48
Nature has evolved over 3.8 billion years
47
156920
2896
大自然演化了 38 億年，
02:51
to be able to do this,
48
159840
1856
才能做到這一點，
02:53
but now through the use
of synthetic biology,
of synthetic biology,
49
161720
2976
但現在，透過合成生物學的使用，
02:56
an emerging scientific discipline
50
164720
1616
它是一種新興的科學科目，
02:58
that seeks to customize
this functionality of living systems,
this functionality of living systems,
51
166360
3976
目的在將活系統的功能給客製化，
03:02
we can now rapid prototype
the assembly of DNA.
the assembly of DNA.
52
170360
3720
我們現在能快速測試 DNA 組合。
03:07
That means that we can engineer
the kind of biological precision
the kind of biological precision
53
175120
4416
那表示，生物精確性可以高到
03:11
that makes it possible
to design a bacteria
to design a bacteria
54
179560
4536
讓我們能夠設計出
能回收金屬的細菌，
能回收金屬的細菌，
03:16
that can recycle metal,
55
184120
2096
03:18
to grow fungi into furniture
56
186240
1976
能將真菌栽培成傢俱，
03:20
and even sequester
renewable energy from algae.
renewable energy from algae.
57
188240
3800
甚至從水藻中分離出再生能源。
03:24
To think about how we might access
this inherent brilliance of nature --
this inherent brilliance of nature --
58
192840
4816
為了要想出我們能如何取用
大自然與生俱來的才華──
大自然與生俱來的才華──
03:29
to build things from living things --
59
197680
2776
用生物來造東西──
03:32
let's consider the biological
process of fermentation.
process of fermentation.
60
200480
3136
讓我們先思考發酵的生物過程。
03:35
I've come to think of fermentation,
when harnessed by humans,
when harnessed by humans,
61
203640
3656
我漸漸認為，當發酵被人類利用時，
03:39
as an advanced technological
toolkit for our survival.
toolkit for our survival.
62
207320
3256
可被視為是協助我們
生存的先進科技工具。
生存的先進科技工具。
03:42
When a solid or a liquid ferments,
63
210600
2056
固體或液體發酵時
03:44
it's chemically broken down
by bacterial fungi.
by bacterial fungi.
64
212680
2560
會被真菌化學性地分解，
03:47
The byproduct of this is what we value.
65
215880
2096
我們很珍視這過程的副產品。
03:50
So for example, we add yeast
to grapes to make wine.
to grapes to make wine.
66
218000
3480
比如，我們添加酵母，
讓葡萄變成葡萄酒。
讓葡萄變成葡萄酒。
03:54
Well in nature, these transformations
are part of a complex network --
are part of a complex network --
67
222840
4496
在大自然中，這類的轉化
屬於一個複雜的網路──
屬於一個複雜的網路──
03:59
a continuous cycle
that redistributes energy.
that redistributes energy.
68
227360
3016
一個能夠重新分配能量的持續循環。
04:02
Fermentation gives rise
to multispecies interactions
to multispecies interactions
69
230400
2856
發酵能引起多物種的互動，
04:05
of bacteria and fungi,
70
233280
2136
包括細菌和真菌、
04:07
plants, insects, animals and humans:
71
235440
2616
植物、昆蟲、動物、人類。
04:10
in other words, whole ecosystems.
72
238080
2160
換言之，就是整個生態系統。
04:13
We've known about these powerful
microbial interactions
microbial interactions
73
241120
3656
數千年來我們都知道這些強大的
04:16
for thousands of years.
74
244800
2176
微生物互動。
04:19
You can see how through
the fermentation of grains,
the fermentation of grains,
75
247000
2896
你可以看見，透過穀物、
04:21
vegetal matter and animal products,
76
249920
2656
植物質，以及動物產品，
04:24
all peoples and cultures of the world
have domesticated microorganisms
have domesticated microorganisms
77
252600
4696
世上各種人和文化都在使用微生物，
04:29
to make the inedible edible.
78
257320
1600
把不能吃的變成能吃的。
04:31
And there's even evidence
that as early as 350 AD,
that as early as 350 AD,
79
259839
4337
甚至早在公元 350 年
就已經有證據，
就已經有證據，
04:36
people deliberately fermented
foodstuffs that contained antibiotics.

80
264200
4240
證明人們會刻意發酵
含有抗生素的食品。

were found to contain
significant deposits of tetracycline.

被發現含有明顯的四環素沉澱。
04:47
That's an antibiotic that we use
in modern medicine today.

83
275600
2840
那是我們在現代醫學中
會使用的一種抗生素。
會使用的一種抗生素。
04:51
And nearly 1500 years later,
84
279440
3496
近 1500 年後，
04:54
Alexander Fleming discovered
the antimicrobial properties of mold.

透過盤尼西林的工業化發酵，
才讓數百萬得到

87
292000
2720
05:07
Fermentation could once again
play an important role
play an important role
88
295520
3176
在我們人類的發展當中，
發酵可以再次扮演重要的角色。
05:10
in our human development.
89
298720
2296
05:13
Could it represent a new mode of survival
90
301040
2656
它是否能代表一種新的生存方式，
05:15
if we harness it to completely
change our industries?
change our industries?
91
303720
3680
如果我們利用它來
完全改變我們的產業？
完全改變我們的產業？
05:19
I've worked in my creative career
to develop new material systems
to develop new material systems
92
307880
3496
在我的創意職涯當中，
我為紡織業發展了
我為紡織業發展了
05:23
for the textile industry.
93
311400
1536
新的物質系統。
05:24
And while it is work that I love,
94
312960
2256
雖然這是我喜愛的工作，
05:27
I cannot reconcile with the fact
that the textile industry
that the textile industry
95
315240
2715
我無法接受一個事實：
紡織業是世界上
污染最嚴重的產業之一。
污染最嚴重的產業之一。
05:29
is one of the most polluting in the world.
96
317979
2277
05:32
Most of the ecological harm
caused by textile processing
caused by textile processing
97
320280
4816
大部分因紡織處理所造成的生態傷害
05:37
occurs at the finishing
and the dyeing stage.
and the dyeing stage.
98
325120
2280
發生在收尾及染色階段。
05:40
Processing textiles
requires huge amounts of water.
requires huge amounts of water.
99
328840
3600
紡織處理會需要很大量的水。
05:45
And since the oil age completely
transformed the textile industry,
transformed the textile industry,
100
333120
4416
因為石油年代完全轉變了紡織業，
05:49
many of the materials
101
337560
1256
處理所使用的
05:50
and the chemicals used
to process them are petroleum based.
to process them are petroleum based.
102
338840
4536
許多材料和化學物質
都是以石油為基礎的。
都是以石油為基礎的。
05:55
And so coupled with our insatiable
appetite for fast fashion,
appetite for fast fashion,
103
343400
4400
所以，加上我們對於快速時尚
永遠無法滿足的胃口，
永遠無法滿足的胃口，
06:00
a huge amount of textile waste
is ending up in landfill every year
is ending up in landfill every year
104
348680
4696
結果就是每年要掩埋
大量的紡織廢物，
大量的紡織廢物，
06:05
because it remains
notoriously difficult to recycle.
notoriously difficult to recycle.
105
353400
3360
因為眾所皆知，
這些廢物是很難回收的。
這些廢物是很難回收的。
06:09
So again, contrast this with biology.
106
357640
3456
所以，再一次，
將它和生物學做對照。
將它和生物學做對照。
06:13
Evolved over 3.8 billion years,
107
361120
3096
經過 38 億年的演化，
06:16
to rapid prototype,
108
364240
1856
到快速測試原型，
06:18
to recycle and to replenish
109
366120
2576
到回收和再補充，
06:20
better than any system
we've ever engineered.
we've ever engineered.
110
368720
2680
優於我們曾製造過的任何系統。
06:24
I was inspired by this immense potential
111
372480
2336
我被這巨大的潛能所鼓舞，
06:26
and wanted to explore it
through a seemingly simple question --
through a seemingly simple question --
112
374840
3936
想要透過一個似乎
很簡單的問題來探究它──
很簡單的問題來探究它──
06:30
at the time.
113
378800
1200
在那時是如此。
06:32
If a bacteria produces a pigment,
114
380880
2496
如果細菌能產生色素，
06:35
how do we work with it to dye textiles?
115
383400
2520
我們如何用它來將織物染色？
06:39
Well, one of my favorite ways
116
387080
2376
我最喜歡的方式之一，
06:41
is to grow Streptomyces coelicolor
directly onto silk.
directly onto silk.
117
389480
5056
是直接在絲上培養天藍色鏈黴菌。
06:46
You can see how each colony
produces pigment around its own territory.
produces pigment around its own territory.
118
394560
4240
你們可以看到每個菌落都會
在它的領土周圍產生出色素。
在它的領土周圍產生出色素。
06:51
Now, if you add many, many cells,
119
399720
2736
如果你添加許多許多細胞，
06:54
they generate enough dyestuff
to saturate the entire cloth.
to saturate the entire cloth.
120
402480
5600
它們能生成足夠的染料
將整片布料染色。
將整片布料染色。
07:07
Now, the magical thing
about dyeing textiles in this way --
about dyeing textiles in this way --
121
415120
3696
神奇的是
這種將織物染色的方式──
07:10
this sort of direct fermentation
122
418840
1576
直接將細菌添加到絲上的
直接發酵方式──
直接發酵方式──
07:12
when you add the bacteria
directly onto the silk --
directly onto the silk --
123
420440
3896
07:16
is that to dye one t-shirt,
124
424360
3216
就是如果要染色一件Ｔ恤，
07:19
the bacteria survive
on just 200 milliliters of water.
on just 200 milliliters of water.
125
427600
3840
只要 200 毫升的水，
細菌就可以存活。
細菌就可以存活。
07:24
And you can see how this process
generates very little runoff
generates very little runoff
126
432360
5296
你們可以看見，這個過程
產生的流量非常少，
產生的流量非常少，
07:29
and produces a colorfast pigment

不用任何化學物質就能
產生出不褪色的色素。
產生出不褪色的色素。
07:35
So now you're thinking --
128
443280
1536
所以，現在你們在想──
07:36
and you're thinking right --
129
444840
2496
且你們這樣想是對的──
07:39
an inherent problem associated
with designing with a living system is:
with designing with a living system is:
130
447360
5036
用生物系統來設計，
天生就會有一個相關的問題：
天生就會有一個相關的問題：
07:44
How do you guide a medium
that has a life force of its own?
that has a life force of its own?
131
452420
3460
你要如何引導一個媒介，
如果它本身就有自己的生命力？
如果它本身就有自己的生命力？
07:48
Well, once you've established
the baseline for cultivating Streptomyces
the baseline for cultivating Streptomyces
132
456480
5376
一旦你建立起了培養鏈黴菌的基線，
07:53
so that it consistently
produces enough pigment,
produces enough pigment,
133
461880
3216
讓它能很一致地產生出足夠的色素，
07:57
you can turn to twisting, folding,
134
465120
3056
你就能轉向撚、折、
08:00
clamping, dipping, spraying,
135
468200
2856
鉗夾、浸染、噴塗、
08:03
submerging --
136
471080
1536
淹染──
08:04
all of these begin to inform
the aesthetics of coelicolor's activity.
the aesthetics of coelicolor's activity.
137
472640
5000
所有這些做法，都讓天藍色
鏈黴菌活動的美感更有特色。
鏈黴菌活動的美感更有特色。
08:10
And using them in a systematic way
138
478880
1736
以系統性的方式來使用它們，
08:12
enables us to be able
to generate an organic pattern ...
to generate an organic pattern ...
139
480640
3720
讓我們能夠生成有機的圖案、
08:18
a uniform dye ...
140
486320
1200
染色均勻，
08:21
and even a graphic print.
141
489040
2040
甚至能印圖。
08:25
Another problem is how to scale
these artisanal methods of making
these artisanal methods of making
142
493240
6096
另一個問題
是要如何擴大這些手作的規模，
08:31
so that we can start
to use them in industry.
to use them in industry.
143
499360
3680
使它能被用在產業上？
08:36
When we talk about scale,
144
504800
1456
當我們談到規模，
08:38
we consider two things in parallel:
145
506280
2536
我們會平行思考兩件事：
08:40
scaling the biology,
146
508840
1616
將生物學規模擴大，
08:42
and then scaling
the tools and the processes
the tools and the processes
147
510480
2856
以及將此生物學所需要的
工具及過程的規模擴大。
08:45
required to work with the biology.
148
513360
1920
08:48
If we can do this,
149
516440
1215
如果我們能做到，
08:49
then we can move
what happens on a petri dish
what happens on a petri dish
150
517679
2377
我們就能移動培養皿上
所發生的現象，
所發生的現象，
08:52
so that it can meet the human scale,
151
520080
2496
讓它能符合人類的規模，
08:54
and then hopefully
the architecture of our environments.
the architecture of our environments.
152
522600
3480
希望，接著能符合我們環境的結構。
09:02
If Fleming were alive today,
153
530760
1416
如果佛萊明還活著，
09:04
this would definitely
be a part of his toolkit.
be a part of his toolkit.
154
532200
2800
這肯定會是他的工具之一。
09:07
You're looking at our current best guess
155
535760
2816
你們現在看到的，
是我們目前對如何擴大
生物學規模的最佳猜測。
生物學規模的最佳猜測。
09:10
of how to scale biology.
156
538600
1800
09:13
It's a bioreactor;
157
541280
1256
它是生物反應器；
09:14
a kind of microorganism brewery
that contains yeasts
that contains yeasts
158
542560

159
545680
5136
設計來製造特定的大量
生產型化學物質和化合物，
生產型化學物質和化合物，
09:22
like fragrances and flavors.
160
550840
2040
像是香氣和口味。
09:25
It's actually connected to a suite
of automated hardware and software

161
553760
3496
它其實和一系列的
自動化軟硬體有關，
自動化軟硬體有關，
09:29
that read in real time
162
557280
1936
它們能即時做讀取，
09:31
and feed back to a design team
the growth conditions of the microbe.

163
559240
6176
將微生物生長條件的資訊
回饋給設計團隊。
回饋給設計團隊。
09:37
So we can use this system
to model the growth characteristics

164
565440
3096
所以我們可以用這個系統
來為像天藍色鏈黴菌
來為像天藍色鏈黴菌
09:40
of an organism like coelicolor
165
568560

to see how it would
ferment at 50,000 liters.

它是一間生技公司，在波士頓起家。
09:54
I am working to see

10:03
We're doing things like engineering
Streptomyces coelicolor
Streptomyces coelicolor
171
591800
4296
我們在做的包括製造天藍色鏈黴菌，
10:08
to see if it can produce more pigment.
172
596120
2480
看看它能否產生出更多色素。
10:11
And we're even looking at the tools
for synthetic biology.

173
599640
4136
我們甚至在研究
合成生物學用的工具。
合成生物學用的工具。
10:15

10:25
I'm also leveraging digital fabrication,
176
613440
3056
我也在發揮數位製造的功能，
10:28
because the tools that I need
to work with Streptomyces coelicolor
to work with Streptomyces coelicolor
177
616520
3576
因為我處理天藍色
鏈黴菌所需要的工具
鏈黴菌所需要的工具
10:32
don't actually exist.
178
620120
1896
實際上並不存在。
10:34
So in this case --
179
622040
1536
所以，在這個情況下──
10:35
in the last week actually,
180
623600
1416
其實，就是在上週，
10:37
I've just designed a petri dish
181
625040
2256
我剛設計了一個培養皿，
10:39
that is engineered to produce
a bespoke print on a whole garment.

182
627320
4816
設計來產出整件服飾上的訂製圖案。
10:44
We're making lots of kimonos.
183
632160
1720
我們做了很多和服。
10:46
Here's the exciting thing:
184
634760
1976
有件事很讓人興奮：
10:48
I'm not alone.
185
636760
1376
我不孤單。
10:50
There are others who are building
capacity in this field,
capacity in this field,
186
638160
2896
在這個領域還有其他人在建立能力，
10:53
like MycoWorks.
187
641080
1936
就像 MycoWorks。
10:55
MycoWorks is a startup
188
643040
1736
MycoWorks 是一間新創公司，
10:56
that wants to replace animal leather
with mushroom leather,
with mushroom leather,
189
644800
2936
他們想要把動物皮革換成蘑菇皮革，
10:59
a versatile, high-performance material
190
647760
2656
那是一種多功能、高效能的材料，
11:02
that has applications beyond textiles
and into product and architecture.

194
662880
3896
能被織入可高度程控的紗線當中。
11:18
So think water resistance,
195
666800
1856
想想防水性、
11:20
stretchability and superstrength.
196
668680
2360
延展性，以及超級強度。
11:24
To reach economies of scale,
197
672480
1896
要達成規模經濟，
11:26
these kinds of startups
are having to build and design
are having to build and design
198
674400
4696
這類新創公司得要建立、設計，
11:31
and engineer the infrastructure
to work with biology.

199
679120
2800
並製作出必要的基礎設備，
才能和生物學結合。

比如，
11:35
Bolt Threads have had to engage
in some extreme biomimicry.

201
683880
3840
Bolt Threads 得要用到
一些很極端的仿生學。

11:40
To be able to spin the product
this yeast creates into a yarn,

202
688360
5296
為了要吐出這種酵母
在紗線中所創造出的產品，
在紗線中所創造出的產品，
11:45
they've engineered a yarn-making machine
203
693680
3416
他們製造了一台造紗線的機器，
11:49
that mimics the physiological conditions
204
697120
2896
它能模仿蜘蛛通常
11:52
under which spiders
ordinarily spin their own silk.
ordinarily spin their own silk.
205
700040
3560
在吐絲時的生理條件。
11:56
So you can start to see how imaginative
206
704960
3496
所以，你們能開始見識到
大自然中存在著多有想像力、
12:00
and inspiring modes of making
exist in nature

207
708480
5656
多鼓舞人心的製造方式，
12:06
that we can use to build capacity
around new bio-based industries.

12:19
At this present moment,
211
727840
1256
在目前，
12:21
as we face the ecological
crisis in front of us,
crisis in front of us,
212
729120
4656
我們正在面臨生態危機，
12:25
what we have to do is to determine
213
733800
2336
我們要做的事，是去決定
12:28
how we're going to build
these new material systems
these new material systems
214
736160
3176
我們要如何建造這些新的物質系統，
12:31
so that they don't mirror
the damaging legacies of the oil age.
