Genetically modified bacteria have uses such as preventing frost damage (Frost-minus), producing insect toxins in corn roots, filtering air pollutants, removing sulfur from coal, and producing phenylalanine.
Verwendung von gentechnisch veränderten Bakterien: Frost-Plus-Bakterien, die auf Pflanzen leben, wurden zu Frost-Minus verändert. Bakterien in Maiswurzeln können nun Insektengift produzieren. Bakterien können als Filter verwendet werden, um die Freisetzung von Schadstoffen in die Luft zu verhindern. Sie können Schwefel aus Kohle entfernen. Verschiedene Bakterien können nun Phenylalanin (für NutraSweet) produzieren.
