Usually they transform them by changing their genetic code, they change it by splitting the genetics of a bacteria (it looks like a circle, rather than a double helix) and adding in a part of another organism's code, this is most commonly seen in preparing insulin for diabetics, the gene that codes for insulin is "spliced" onto the regular bacteria gene, and then the bacteria is grown, harvested, and refined to get insulin that would otherwise have to have come from pigs or other animals

How have scientists made bacteria more useful today?

Scientists have taken restriction enzymes out of bacteria; restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA at cut sites. Also, they insert genes into bacteria to study them.

What two kingdoms do scientists divide bacteria in to?

Scientists divide bacteria into two kingdoms: Bacteria (also known as Eubacteria) and Archaea. These two kingdoms are based on differences in their genetic and biochemical makeup.


How do scientists classify bacteria?

Scientists classify bacteria based on their shape, structure, biochemical properties, and genetic composition. Bacteria are classified into different groups, such as phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species, using a system called taxonomy. This classification helps scientists understand the diversity and relationships among different bacteria species.
