E.coli is used for varoious research purpose not other organism?

it is the organism whose genetic sequence is completly studied.\nnot pathogenic so evenif escap from lab not causes hazardous effect.\npresent easily everywhere and isolation is also simple \ngrow on simple media\ngeneration time is less

Yes, you can use it for over expression.  Make sure your plasmid has the proper self cloning sequences, one plasmid per cell won't do you much good.  \n\nPrecautions?  \n\nMake sure your gene is pure, as in not having anything that might ruin your experiment. Test culture your target bacterium first to weed out the non functionals and then cultivate the good ones, the ones that produce your targe protein.  You might need to assay for this stuff though, unless there's one of the specialized agars that will detect your target protein.

Biotechnology does not necessarily use human case studies.  Rather, biotech is a reference to companies which use organisms to modify or manufacture their products; such as using e. coli bacteria to manufacture insulin. \n\nIn practice, many pharmaceutical firms and pharmacy benefit managers contribute to and/or own biotech companies and research facilities.  This type of industry may have particular importance in the realm of specialized medications where drugs are modified for particular recipients.

Cider has been known to pass E.coli. It is difficult when E.coli is found in feces of animals and humans and animal manure is used for fertilization of gardens. It is a natural and good fertilizer. E. coli is natural in feces. It is used as a test bacteria to see if there is sewage contamination of water. It is only the one special species that is harmful. So now any fruit or vegetable that is eaten raw, not washed is a potential carrier?

E. coli can not grow in H2.  This is why S. typhi kills off the E. coli in our intestines thus finding opportunity to infect. "Montazuna's Revenge."

Non of the gram negatives,so the answer will not be E.coli or Pseu....\nendospores are produced by some gram positives like Bacillus,Clostridium and sarsina \nhope it works;)

All organisms use the same four subunits in DNA.  ATCG  There are some bacteria I believe that use one other subunit. Most organisms have RNA because it is how the body decodes DNA into proteins.  In RNA there are also four units those are AUCG

Are you looking for all known orthologues of the individual genes in the operon (I assume) or for all occurences of these particular genes in an operon in other organisms (bacteria)?\n\n\n\n/////////\nI would try to look at "HomoloGENE", "Genome" and "UniGene" at the Entrez gateway at the US National Library of Medicine, Nat'l Ctr. for Biotechnology Info. (NCBI) \n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gquery/gquery.fcgi?itool=toolbar

there is none.  Silver was being used hundreds if not thousands of years before the concept of microbes was used.  That's like asking why does organic matter reak down to make oil for cars?

Try Invitrogen (IVGN).  They make products for life science research.

The previous answer would be exellent except it is dead wrong.  You've confused transgenic with hybrid.\n\nA transgenic organism is an organims whose genome has been artificially altered.  For example, a transgenic cow may be altered to produce human insulin excreeded in her milk (which is excellent for treating diabetes).\n\nMajor ethical issues include, of course, the issue of "playing god," mentioned above.  More relevant issues tend to revolve around animal cruelty.  Basically, you've got some cow embryo (or whatever animal you're using) and alter its DNA to make it produce human insulin.  Great for the diabetic people getting the insulin, but what about the cow?  Is it right to keep her locked up for our use?  Was it right to mess with her DNA in the first place?\n\nTrangenic species can also be used to produce enhanced versions of the animal (ex. a cow that yields twice as much meat).  This creates some more animal cruelty issues, and maybe some issues about fair competition.\n\nTransgenic species are also commonly used in medical research (as well as other areas of biology) to test to effects of potential drugs and study the modes of action of certain diseases.  Animal testing has its own set of ethical issues.

Biotechnology is being used to address problems in all areas of agricultural production and processing. This includes plant breeding to raise and stabilize yields; to improve resistance to pests, diseases and abiotic stresses such as drought and cold; and to enhance the nutritional content of foods. Biotechnology is being used to develop low-cost disease-free planting materials for crops such as cassava, banana and potato and is creating new tools for the diagnosis and treatment of plant and animal diseases and for the measurement and conservation of genetic resources. Biotechnology is being used to speed up breeding programmes for plants, livestock and fish and to extend the range of traits that can be addressed. Animal feeds and feeding practices are being changed by biotechnology to improve animal nutrition and to reduce environmental waste. Biotechnology is used in disease diagnostics and for the production of vaccines against animal diseases.\n\nClearly, biotechnology is more than genetic engineering. Indeed, some of the least controversial aspects of agricultural biotechnology are potentially the most powerful and the most beneficial for the poor. Genomics, for example, is revolutionizing our understanding of the ways genes, cells, organisms and ecosystems function and is opening new horizons for marker-assisted breeding and genetic resource management. At the same time, genetic engineering is a very powerful tool whose role should be carefully evaluated. It is important to understand how biotechnology - particularly genetic engineering - complements and extends other approaches if sensible decisions are to be made about its use.\n\nThis chapter provides a brief description of current and emerging uses of biotechnology in crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry with a view to understanding the technologies themselves and the ways they complement and extend other approaches. It should be emphasized that the tools of biotechnology are just that: tools, not ends in themselves. As with any tool, they must be assessed within the context in which they are being used.

I am 100% for cloning! I think that cloning could hold the key to accelerating stem cell research, and therefore help to cure many many diseases. I also believe it could be used to clone organs and help those who await a transplant. More lives could be saved with it than any one can possibly imagine. I would not be alive right now if it were not for cloning. I am diabetic. Human recombinate DNA is cloned into ecoli bacteria. That ecoli then utilizes the DNA and produces human insulin. Get the picture?

they have a website...or are you looking to buy one? try trying in the name of the bacterium into a search engine. most college's have at least one.

i think human diseases r interesting. besides that, how bout healing properties of some tradisional herbs/plants? i'm currently working on pathogenic bacteria. maybe u can try to look into pathogens too? since pathogen like SARS, avian influenza and HIV are emerging problems for mankind... most importantly, which area r u interested?

Not for medical research .\n\nrats that are bred specifically for study are used because the groups are controlled and require the test subjects to be the same to have more accuracy in comparing results.I can't imagine chimps being bred like that . t's way too cruel of a life anyway.\n\nbut some research  maybe for learning related studies, communication, language etc...\n\nI like the idea of certain catagories of inmate to be used as a test subject
