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.

How can bacteria be used to help people that are diabetic?

Scientists have put some bacteria to work making medicines and other substances. The first medicine-producing bacteria were made in the 1970s. By manipulating the bacteria's genetic material, scientists engineered bacteria to produce human insulin. Although healthy people can make their own insulin, those with some types of diabetes cannot. Many people with diabetes need to take insulin daily. Thanks to bacteria's fast rate of reproduction, large number of insulin-making bacteria can be grown in huge vats. The human inlusin they produce is then perified and made into medicine. CREDITS FROM: NORTH CAROLINA 8TH GRADE PRENTICE HALL SCIENCE EXPLORER Pg.225
