Application of Some Genetically Engineered Bacteria - A variety of microorganisms, particularly bacteria have been modified through the techniques of genetic engineering to meet specific needs. These genetically engineered bacteria have found applications in areas including the following:
(i) crop production and protection through biological control of insects, fungal diseases, frost damage, etc.,
(ii) biodegradation of xenobiotics (waste from non biological systems) and toxic waste transformations,
(iii) production of fuels and chemicals including antibiotics, enzymes and diagnostics and

(iv)extraction of metals from ores.
Application of this technology will ultimately release beneficial agents in the environment. It is hoped that if safely deployed, genetically modified bacteria should be able to provide significant benefits in the management of environment systems.
Some examples of these genetically engineered bacteria will be briefly discussed in, this section.
