Not at all. There are many foods that you eat that have been genetically engineered to produce something better or faster than before.
Insulin - The Dude That's Friends With THE DUDE
Growing genetically engineered bacteria and collecting human DNA/proteins that they produce.
When insulin was being commercially produced in genetically engineered bacteria and yeast, it was obtained from the pancreas of pigs and cows. This animal insulin was then purified and used as a template to create synthetic human insulin through genetic engineering processes.
Genetically engineered insulin may have fewer side effects than the insulin previously extracted from the pancreases of other animals. This is because genetic engineering inserts human genes such as the gene for insulin production into the DNA of bacteria. As a result, the bacteria that produces human insulin, when used by diabetics, should produce fewer side effects.
Yes, humans do use bacteria to synthesize drugs. This technique is known as biopharmaceutical production, where bacteria are genetically engineered to produce specific drugs or drug components in a controlled environment. This method allows for the efficient and cost-effective production of medicines.
no because its a bacteria and only specialized types of agle can go in cold weather and its geneticly engineered
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 Escherichia coli bacteria in 1973 by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen.

Combing a portion of human DNA with bacterial DNA and inserting this into bacteria
Genetically engineered organisms. Bacteria, yeasts, spiders, goats, etc. have been genetically engineered to mass produce several proteins of medical interest.

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