TaigaBacteria are used in recombinant DNA technology because they have the ability to take up foreign DNA and incorporate it into their own genome (transformation), providing a way to introduce recombinant DNA into living organisms. Additionally, bacteria can be genetically modified to produce desired proteins or enzymes, which is important in the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering. Furthermore, bacteria can replicate recombinant DNA quickly and efficiently, allowing for the production of large quantities of the desired DNA.

What aspects of bacteria makes recombinant DNA technology effective?
Bacteria reproduce very quickly.
Is penicillin more effective against Gram negative or Gram positive?
Penicillin is more effective against Gram positive bacteria. This is because the peptidoglycan layer of Gram negative bacteria acts as a barrier that makes them less susceptible to penicillin.
What Means that the bacteria causes disease?
the bacteria makes you sick.
Which part of the em spectrum can be used to kill bacteria?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, specifically UVC light, can be used to kill bacteria. UVC light has a short wavelength and high energy, which damages the DNA and RNA of bacteria, preventing their growth and reproduction. This property makes UVC light an effective tool for disinfection purposes.
How does a recombinant plasmid get into a bacterium?
Viruses
