One of the most promising methods Jones and his colleagues have explored is production in silkworms.

“When you ask a goat, or you ask a bacteria to produce spider silk for you, all you get is the raw protein powder, then you have to formulate it into a fiber or some other material form.

Whereas silkworms have very similar systems of spinning silk, and an industry exists and has existed for 1000s of years to raise silkworms,” said Jones.

Silkworms offer a replacement to “Spider-Goats” but in terms of yield they’re still limited.
