Transgenic microorganisms can be developed by inserting genes encoding for desired protein products using recombinant DNA technology. These transgenic organisms function as living microfactories that produce proteins like human insulin, human growth hormone, etc. Production of proteins from such organisms is easier, more efficient and cost effective.
