Not at all. There are many foods that you eat that have been genetically engineered to produce something better or faster than before.

Can algae grow in cold water?

no because its a bacteria and only specialized types of agle can go in cold weather and its geneticly engineered


How are genetically modified bacteria grown?

Just like any other bacteria. It depends on its growth requirements. They don't usually require anything extra unless engineered to need a particular nutrient. Agar would be the most common media used to grow bacteria and probably genetically engineered bacteria too.


The first genetically engineered organism was?

The first genetically engineered organism was Escherichia coli bacteria in 1973 by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen.

Is there a way to mass produce proteins?

Genetically engineered organisms. Bacteria, yeasts, spiders, goats, etc. have been genetically engineered to mass produce several proteins of medical interest.

How are genetically engineered oil eating bacteria produced?

Genetically engineered oil-eating bacteria are produced by inserting specific genes into the bacterial genome through a process called genetic engineering. These genes usually code for enzymes that enable the bacteria to metabolize oil as a food source. Once the genes are successfully integrated into the bacteria's DNA, they can begin producing the enzymes and consuming oil in their environment.


Genetically engineered antibodies?

Antibodies: chemical that are like glue to specific pathogenes. They stick to bacteria and viruses and make them incapable of effecting their manevolent lifecycle. Genetically engineered: Engineers fooling bacteria, plants or animals into making specified chemical for us. When I'm sick I'm all for them.


Is alcoholism genitically or environmentaly determined?

Both. You may have the genes, but if you don't drink you won't become an alcoholic.


Why would humans be interested in introducing mutations into bacteria?

Introducing mutations into the bacteria is called "engineering" the bacteria. it allows bacteria to be developed that can be put to work for useful purposes (devouring oil spill gunk, as one example), and there are hundreds of other uses for engineered bacteria, too.


Are plastics produced with the help of bacteria?

Yes, some companies are using bacteria to produce biodegradable plastics as an alternative to traditional plastics. These bacteria are genetically engineered to produce polymers that can be used in place of petrochemical plastics.
