What else can I help you with?
EColi makes insulin because?
E. coli can be genetically engineered to produce insulin through the introduction of the gene encoding insulin. This allows the bacteria to synthesize and secrete insulin protein, which can then be harvested and used for medical purposes, such as treating diabetes.
How is insulin for treating diabetes currently produced?
The insert the gene for producing Insulin into E. coli. E. coli grow very rapidly and this provides for a cheap and quick way to produce Insulin.
What role does E. coli play in recombinant DNA Technology?
It helps to create human insulin.
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.
What is the scientific name for E coli?
Escherichia coli
Can raw knuckle bones have e-coli?
Yes they can because e-coli comes in almost all rotting stuff
Human insulin is produced in large quantities by?
Human insulin is produced in large quantities by recombinant DNA technology in bacteria such as Escherichia coli or yeast cells. The gene for human insulin is inserted into the DNA of these organisms, which then produce insulin protein that can be harvested and purified for medical use.
Another name for the bacteria e.coli is?
Because E. Coli is short for it's scientific name, Escherichia Coli. And you wouldn't want to have to say that constantly in science class, would you? :)
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
Why the mixing of the E Coli with toluene should be done gently?
because e coli will react with toluene to give by-products (I guess?)
Why do penicillin and ampicilin work on salbus but not e coli?
E. coli produces an enzyme known as beta-lactamase, which makes it resistant to penicillin and ampicillin, whereas salbus does not.
What is recombinant human insulin?
Insulen used to be "made" by extracting insulin from the pancreases of slaughtered pigs and cows. Aside from the problems with being acceptable to Jewish or Muslim folks the supply was limited. The solution was to re-enginer E. Coli to carry the insulin producing gene. The insulin can now be grown like any pharmaceutical.
