Give an example of a transgenic bacteria?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Gentically Modified Bacteria:

Bacteria - the first organisms to be genetically engineered - are used for replicating and altering genes that are subsequently introduced into plants or animals. Bacterial systems lend themselves to genetic manipulation in part because of their rapid reproduction rates. It is easy to produce a genetically identical population - a clone of bacteria - all containing the gene of interest in a short period.

Answer 3

One example of a transgenic bacteria is Escherichia coli (E. coli) that has been modified to produce human insulin. The gene coding for human insulin is inserted into the E. coli DNA, allowing the bacteria to produce insulin that can be harvested and used for medical purposes.

Answer 4

A bacterium with genetic material (DNA) from a different species - introduced by human manipulation.

Answer 5

Many strains of E. Coli bacteria's
