Question

What are transgenic bacteria? Illustrate using any one example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Transgenic bacteria comprise of a foreign gene which is purposefully inserted into its genome. These are manipulated in order to be able to express the desirable gene to produce different commercially important products.

E.coli, an example of transgenic bacteria has two DNA sequences in its plasmid that corresponds to A and B chain of human insulin which are introduced to generate the respective human insulin chains. Therefore, once the insulin gene is introduced into the bacterium, it turns transgenic and begins to produce chains of human insulin. These chains, after sometime are extracted from E.coli and fused to form human insulin.
