Behind the scenes at Blue Marble Biomaterials–or, put another way, the story of a giant metal cow that ate a swamp

Blue Marble Biomaterials http://bluemarblebio.com/ sits in the flat industrial area near the Missoula International Airport. The front room accommodates a staff of 15–up from just four employees two years ago–in an open layout furnished with modern-looking black desks and office chairs. It has the vibe of a hip, bustling startup on the rise and seems ordinary enough–if, that is, you hold your breath.

Breathing in, visitors are hit with a cluster of sweet and savory smells. It’s hard to pinpoint each and every fragrance: one day it could be fermented fruit mixed with pine needles and wet coffee grounds. The next, the aromatic puzzle seems to shift to something closer to boiled cabbage and the smell of cotton candy, but even sweeter.
