Hey here is your answer .Mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

• Using microbes, protocols were developed to insert genes into bacterial plasmids, taking advantage of their fast reproduction, to make biofactories for the gene of interest.
• Such genetically engineered bacteria can produce pharmaceuticals such as insulin, human growth hormone, interferons and blood clotting factors.
• The main role of microorganisms in genetic engineering is played by vector . Vector means that some microbes can carry the genes of intreast to the target genome
• Munching bacteria is the genetically engineered bacteria that are used for cleaning oil spills. These bacteria are produced by modifying the DNA structure of the bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis.
