Question

how bacteria are used as research tools?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Why Studying Bacteria matters

I have been thinking a lot recently about how the tools we use in our work have improved so dramatically in the last few decades and how this is mostly down to the frequently disparaged study of microbes. While everyone can get behind studying bacteria that cause life-threatening diseases like typhoid fever and cholera, I think that it is often harder to convince people of the value of studying ordinary and sometimes obscure bacteria that do not directly affect human health. However, over the years, such studies have revolutionized many aspects of our lives. They have done so by adapting the biomolecules identified in these studies to produce tools that are now indispensible, not only for researchers like myself who are trying to understand how genes work and what happens to people when these genes go wrong, but also to epidemiologists, doctors, archeologists, historians, forensic scientists, and farmers. In the process, these tools have made the Biotech industry into a multibillion-dollar operation.
