Bacteria Genetic Engineering Reasons Biotechnology Produce Complex Molecules

Bacteria produce complex molecules, reproduce rapidly, it is considered ethical for bacteria to be treated without care, they share the same genetic information (DNA) with all organisms, genetic engineering on bacteria is well understood and widely available.

Bakterier producerer komplekse molekyler, formerer sig hurtigt, det anses for etisk at behandle bakterier uden omsorg, de deler den samme genetiske information (DNA) med alle organismer, genetisk manipulation af bakterier er velkendt og bredt tilgængelig.
