How can a large volume of protein e.g. insulin be produced from a single bacterium?
The gene for insulin can be inserted into the bacterial chromosome. The bacteria is then left to multiply normally, which thus produces many copies of the gene and lots of insulin. This is how they produce the insulin used by people who have diabetes.
What crop need large quantities of water?
Many crops need large quantities of water, an example of one being rice.
What is the importance of Genetics?
Genetic enginering is the transfer of DNA from one organism to another. By doing this organisms can be produced that have useful traits. For example, the human gene for insulin was put into bacteria, resulting in the production of a bacteria that produced insulin as a waste product. This break through allowed us to produce large quantities of human insulin for dibetics.
What type of bacteria is in insulin?
Well, the insulin a diabetic gets does not contain any bacteria. It is sterile. However, the insulin is made by bacteria, usually E. coli. Hope this helps! Some Stuff about the E.Coli Bacteria: • • The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with diabetes • It's Inexpensive - compared with 1980 methods(extracting insulin from pigs etc.) • Large quantities of the modified bacteria are killed and insulin is extracted and purified. •The Bacteria E.coli used to produce insulin for those with diabetes
Can boric acid lead to death of a person?
If ingested or breathed in in large quantities, but not small quantities.

Nigerias dominant export commodity produced in large quantities is?

When was Human Insulin produced by mircobes?
In 1983 scientists worked out a way of producing human insulin on a large scale using genetically modified bacteria. They did this by first working out which human chromosome was responsible for producing insulin. They then isolated that chromosome using a restricting enzyme. They would then remove the plasmid from the bacterium, cut out a small piece of the plasmid using enzymes and then replace the gap made with the human insulin gene. The genetically engineered plasmid is the inserted into a new bacterium and this bacterium is allowed to grow and multiply. Each of the new bacteria would contain the human insulin gene and as the bacteria continued to multiply they would be producing insulin which could then be used to treat diabetes. In this way we could produce large amounts of insulin that was suitable for vegetarian use and causes very few allergic reactions quickly and cost effectively.

Cotton was first produced in large quantities for sale abroad?
Utilizing slave labors in east Texas
Why table salt is not poisonous?
The Human body needs it. In large quantities it would become a poison though.
According to Fireside Chat 19 what has America done to prepare for war while all of Europe was already in the war?
The us government has increased industrial production in preparation for modern warfare.
Why may there be large quantities of thromboplastin in blood after surgery?
why there may be large quantities of thromboplastin in blood after surgery.
How is commercial insulin prepared?
Standard insulin is an extract taken from the pancreases of cattle from slaughterhouses. However not all diabetics respond well to animal insulin. Genetic engineering has provided a way to manufacture actual human insulin for diabetics that can't use animal insulin. The human insulin gene (edited to remove the introns, which bacteria can't process correctly) is inserted into the chromosome of a bacterium and the bacteria are allowed to grow. Once they have a pure culture of the modified bacteria they are grown in large fermentation tanks. The bacteria produce and secrete the human insulin into the liquid in the tank and as this liquid is circulated to replenish the food for the growing bacteria the insulin is extracted. Some additional processing is needed to perform some steps that the bacteria can't do, the end result is true human insulin.
