There is approximately 100-155 fg/cell of protein and ~20 fg/cell of RNA based on Cox, R.A. (2004) Quantitative relationships for specific growth ratios and macromolecular compositions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and Escherichia coli B/r: an integrative theoretical approach. Microbiology. 150:1413-26.

As a side, there is also ~4.2 fg/cell of DNA based on Kubitschek, HE and Friedman, MC (1971) Chromosome replication and the division cycle of Escherichia coli B/r. Journal of Bacteriology. 107:95-99.

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
