Transgenic bacteria, being artificial in their genetic codes, are found in abundance in the scientific community. They are derived from the natural bacterial species and a gene inserted into them makes them transgenic. This gene insert is done to obtain some specific function, like the production of some important pharmacological product. An example of this would be the bacteria used to produce synthetic insulin. The bacterial names vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the base organism used is E. coli.

∙ 8y agoGentically Modified Bacteria:
Bacteria - the first organisms to be genetically engineered - are used for replicating and altering genes that are subsequently introduced into plants or animals. Bacterial systems lend themselves to genetic manipulation in part because of their rapid reproduction rates. It is easy to produce a genetically identical population - a clone of bacteria - all containing the gene of interest in a short period.

Transgenic bacteria examples?
Example of transgenic bacteria are- Escherichia coli and Streptococcus mutans.
How are transgenic organisms useful in medicine and agriculture?
Transgenic organisms could be used to make a new type of protein. For example, give a bacteria a new gene. The bacteria can then make the protein coded by the new gene. The protein may end being something such as human insulin or some other protein the bacteria don't normally produce. Your welcome Habs 13

Is ice-minus bacteria a transgenic micro-organism?
yes
What is one practical application for each of the following transgenic bacteria transgenic animal transgenic plants QUICK?
Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.

What Transgenic bacteria can be used to produce?
Genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce. This is a transgenic bacteria.

What is an example of transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organisms has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome.Transgenic bacteria with the gene for human insulin make human insulin that is used to treat people with Diabetes.
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.

What is the purpose of transgenic bacteria?
To make bacteria with new abilities. Like eating oil.
What is an example of a transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organisms has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome.Transgenic bacteria with the gene for human insulin make human insulin that is used to treat people with Diabetes.
Is ice-minus bacteria a transgenic micro-organism?
yes
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin produce in great abundance?
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)
What are the transgenic bacteria?
Trangenic bacteria are bacterial colonies which are genetically modified by deleting or adding a particular gene sequence.
What is one practical application for each of the following transgenic bacteria transgenic animal transgenic plants QUICK?
Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.
