What are the advantages of using bacteria which contain human insulin genes to produce insulin?
it is most desirable to produce hInsulin by rDNA technology as you dont want to extract insulin from cadavers that could be infected or use insulin extracted from pig as it be rejected in your body. even more you can design the inslin chain to be the way you want it to be.... like you can surpass the proinsulin stage and make the active insulin chain.
What else can I help you with?
What type of bacteria is in insulin?
Well, the insulin a diabetic gets does not contain any bacteria. It is sterile. However, the insulin is made by bacteria, usually E. coli. Hope this helps! Some Stuff about the E.Coli Bacteria: • • The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with diabetes • It's Inexpensive - compared with 1980 methods(extracting insulin from pigs etc.) • Large quantities of the modified bacteria are killed and insulin is extracted and purified. •The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with diabetes
Which molecule from humans is inserted into bacteria to cause them to produce insulin?
The human gene that codes for insulin is inserted into bacteria to produce insulin. The gene is typically inserted into a plasmid vector, which allows the bacteria to express the human insulin gene and produce insulin. This technique is used in biotechnology to create recombinant bacteria that can produce insulin for medical use.
How is bacteria used to make insulin?
Human plasmids introduced into the bacteria stimulate insulin production. A special enzyme is used to cut out the insulin gene from a human cell. It is attached to a bacterial chromosome which is also split open by an enzyme. The gene is then transferred into a bacterial cell. The gene makes the bacterial cell produce insulin.
Many diabetics are now using insulin that was made by certain bacteria The ability of these bacteria to produce insulin was most likely the result of?
genetic engineering techniques such as recombinant DNA technology, where the gene encoding for insulin production was introduced into the bacterial DNA. These bacteria then use this genetic information to produce insulin, which can be harvested for diabetic treatment.
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin in great abundance?
It is the easiest way for this protein to be produced. The DNA encoding human insulin can be put under the control of a constituitively active promoter and transfected into bacteria, which then produce the protein with their cellular machinery.

How are bacteria used to treat people with diabetes?
bacteria itself is not the treatment. we use the bacteria to produce insulin, we do so by inserting the gene into their plasmids and trigger them to produce the insulin. the insulin is extracted and used.
How can bacteria be utilized to produce insulin for individuals with diabetes?
Bacteria can be genetically modified to produce human insulin, which can then be harvested and used as a treatment for individuals with diabetes. This process involves inserting the gene for insulin production into the bacteria's DNA, allowing them to produce insulin in large quantities.
Ability of bacteria to produce insulin was result of?
Genetic engineering of the bacteria.
What kind of organism is to produce human insulin?
*A+*bacteria
What kind of organisms produce human insulin?
Bacteria
Scientists use bacteria to produce?
Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982.
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
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)
