The advantages of using transgenic bacteria to produce human proteins are:
- It is very easy to alter bacterial plasmid.
- Moreover, bacteria can be cultured very easily and in large quantities. So, there is quick and bulk production of the required product.
- The proteins grow cheaply and in abundance.

∙ 10y agoBacteria are easy and cheap to grow, so it's a very economical way to get proteins and they will start producing the protein quickly. Using transgentc bacteria is way cheaper and quicker than using other lifestock to produce the protein.

What is one practical application for each of the following transgenic bacteria transgenic animal transgenic plants QUICK?
Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.

Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin in great abundance?
It is the easiest way for this protein to be produced. The DNA encoding human insulin can be put under the control of a constituitively active promoter and transfected into bacteria, which then produce the protein with their cellular machinery.
How are transgenic organisms useful in medicine and agriculture?
Transgenic organisms could be used to make a new type of protein. For example, give a bacteria a new gene. The bacteria can then make the protein coded by the new gene. The protein may end being something such as human insulin or some other protein the bacteria don't normally produce. Your welcome Habs 13
What has been used in bacteria to produce proteins and drugs that help fight disease?
RNA
What Transgenic bacteria can be used to produce?
Genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce. This is a transgenic bacteria.
Can insulin be made by using transgenic bacteria?
Yes. In fact, currently insulin manufacturers worldwide use transgenic (recombinant) bacteria to produce insulin efficiently.
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin produce in great abundance?
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)
Why are some human proteins produced by transgenic cows?
Some transgenic cows are engineered to produce human proteins to create substitutes or other alternatives to such things like breast feeding, baby formula and non-transgenic cow milk. They also are created to be an alternative for people who have specific protein allergies.

Are transgenic crop plants registered for use in the US?
Yes. Most are herbicide resistant (soybean, canola) or produce insecticidal proteins (BT corn, cotton).

To produce transgenic bacteria that make insulin what step did researchers have to take first?
Use a restriction enzyme to cut the insulin gene from human DNA. 5175286717
Do you produce ammonia?
Yes, human body can produce ammonia. Bacteria in our intestines break down proteins into ammonia.
How can you produce a transgenic animal?
Insertion of a transgene into the genome during developmental stages produces transgenic animals.
