Chapter 20, Problem 6CR
Summary Introduction
To review:
The frequent use of bacteria in the genetic engineering industry and some of the products that are formed as a result of the genetic engineering.
Introduction:
Genetic engineering involves the transfer of the recombinant plasmid into a suitable host. The most common hosts used are certain nonpathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli. The transgenic bacteria is used widely for the production of many human proteins especially hormones.
