genetically engineered microbes

Genetically engineered microbes are microorganisms intentionally modified in their DNA to perform specific tasks, such as producing medicines, breaking down pollutants, or enhancing food safety. By adding or altering genes, scientists enable these microbes to carry out functions that they wouldn't naturally do. This technology leverages the natural abilities of microbes but guides them to be more efficient or specific for various industrial, medical, or environmental applications. These modifications are carefully designed and tested to ensure safety and effectiveness, making genetically engineered microbes valuable tools in biotechnology and sustainable solutions.
