Genetically engineered bacteria have been successfully used in the commercial production of:
(a) human insulin
- Genetic engineering was used by researchers in the 1980s to manufacture human insulin.
- In the lab inside common bacteria, human insulin was grown.
- The most widely used bacterium for this purpose was Escherichia coli.
- Researchers manipulated the biological precursor to insulin to facilitate the growth inside simple bacteria.

Genetically engineered bacteria have been successfully used in the commercial production of human insulin.
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
- Human insulin are produced from genetically engineering bacteria.
- This insulin is responsible for maintaining the blood sugar level in human body.
- Several chemical compounds beneficial to human health have been prepared by Genetic engineering technique.
- This helps in improving the health quality of human.
- When insulin level deceases, which is created by the pancreas then the level of sugar in blood gets high, causing very serious health problems.
- In such scenario, insulin is injected from outside to maintain the blood sugar level.
Thus Genetically engineered bacteria have been successfully used in the commercial production of human insulin.
