Question

A genetically modified bacteria producing human insulin can be obtained by adding a human insulin gene inside the genetic material of a bacteria. Choose the next step in using the modified bacteria to treat diabetes among the following.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Human insulin can be produced via genetically engineered bacteria having the human insulin gene added to its plasmid. Once the modified bacteria has been developed, it can be commercially mass-produced in a bioreactor. The insulin produced can be purified after extraction via the various downstream processing. Using the altered bacteria directly may cause undesired reactions to the diabetic patient.
