Recombinant DNA technology,

DNA is inserted into bacteria, it can be used to make large quantities of the desired protein., and it had its origins in two related fields. the first, microbial genetics, studies mechanisms by which microorganisms inherit traits. the second, molecular Biology, specially studies how genetic information is carried in molecules of DNA and how DNA directs the synthesis of protein.

What Transgenic bacteria can be used to produce?

Genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce. This is a transgenic bacteria.


When plasmids are used to produce a desired protein what happens?

When plasmids are used to produce a desired protein, the gene encoding for the protein is inserted into the plasmid. The plasmid is then introduced into a host organism, such as bacteria, which then replicate the plasmid and express the protein. This allows for large-scale production of the desired protein.


What has been used in bacteria to produce proteins and drugs that help fight disease?

Bacteria have been engineered to produce proteins and drugs using recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting genes encoding the desired protein or drug into the bacteria's genome, which then enables them to produce these compounds efficiently on a large scale for therapeutic use in fighting diseases.


Does bacteria produce toxins?

Yes. Bacteria do produce toxins. Usually gram positive bacteria produce exo-toxins and gram negative bacteria produce endo-toxins.


How does genetic engineering use bacteria to produce human genes?

The best example of this is Insulin produced in E.coli and this is carried out by recombinant DNA technology wherein the desired gene of interest in inserted into a vector system and then into host cell.


Cam bacteria be used to make human proteins?

Yes, bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli) can be genetically engineered to produce human proteins through a process called recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting the gene encoding the human protein into the bacterial genome, which then allows the bacteria to produce the desired protein.
