Transgenic: This kind of bacteria is formed by transfer of genetic material from another bacteria. The transfer may be natural or by genetic techniques.
Mutant: This kind of bacteria is also a modified one at genetic level, but not due to transfer of genetic material from other bacteria or organism, but due to genetic changes in the organism itself. This changes may be due to UV rays or ionising radiations, or other mutantion stimulating agents (mutagens)

What are the transgenic bacteria?
Trangenic bacteria are bacterial colonies which are genetically modified by deleting or adding a particular gene sequence.
Difference between direct and indirect selection of mutant bacteria?
Direct selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where only the mutant will grow. For example, if a mutant bacterium has gained resistance to a specific antibiotic, only the mutant will be able to grow on media containing that specific antibiotic. Indirect selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where the growth of the mutant is different from the growth of the wild type.
What is a sentence for transgenic?
taking dna and putting it into another creature is called transgenic.
An application of using DNA technology to help environmental scientists would be?
make transgenic bacteria that can be used to clean up oil spills more quickly. HOPE THAT HELPED :)
Why were the S bacteria not the R bacteria virulent?
The S bacteria are surrounded by a capsule, so it is not engulfed by the host's white blood cells. That means that it is able to proliferate and spread. The R bacteria lack the capsule (like the mutant S bacteria), so the white blood cells are able to detect and eliminate them.
Transgenic bacteria examples?
Example of transgenic bacteria are- Escherichia coli and Streptococcus mutans.
What Transgenic bacteria can be used to produce?
Genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce. This is a transgenic bacteria.
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
How are transgenic bacteria useful to humans?
B. protenis
What is the purpose of transgenic bacteria?
To make bacteria with new abilities. Like eating oil.
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.
Difference between direct and indirect selection of mutant bacteria?
Direct selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where only the mutant will grow. For example, if a mutant bacterium has gained resistance to a specific antibiotic, only the mutant will be able to grow on media containing that specific antibiotic. Indirect selection occurs when the bacteria are cultured in conditions where the growth of the mutant is different from the growth of the wild type.
Can you get Alzheimer's disease when bitten by a transgenic mouse or when cut with a surgical tool that has the mouse's blood on it?
Alzheimer's disease is not transmitted by a virus or bacteria, nor is DNA transferred from a transgenic mouse.
What are transgenic mammals?
Transgenic mammals are mammals produced by genetic engineering of two species of animals within the same class genre eg. Tiger + Lion =Tigons a transgenic mammal.
