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)


Is production of human insulin transgenic organism?

Yes, human insulin can be produced through genetically engineered organisms, such as transgenic bacteria or yeast. These organisms are modified to express the human insulin gene, allowing them to produce insulin that is identical to the insulin produced by humans.


Scientists use bacteria to produce?

Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982.


What Transgenic bacteria can be used to produce?

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


To produce transgenic bacteria that make insulin what step did researchers have to take first?

Use a restriction enzyme to cut the insulin gene from human DNA. 5175286717


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.


E. coli that contains the genes for human insulin is?

E. coli that contains the gene for human insulin is genetically engineered, transgenic, and a GMO. Bacteria have been engineered to produce chymotrypsin, make human insulin, produce enzymes that increase shelf life of bread, and to produce enzymes that improve the taste and clarity of beer.


How can genetic technology allow us to create human insulin using bacteria?

We are able to "splice" genes from one organism into the DNA of another to give it traits we want. In this case, we put the gene for insulin into the DNA of a bacterium, which causes it to produce insulin, which we can use.


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.


Give an example of a transgenic bacteria?

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.


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
