Host and microbial genetics

Microbial genetics is a field within microbiology and genetic engineering. It focuses on the genetics of microorganisms; bacteria, archaea, viruses and some protozoa and fungi. This involves the study of the genotype of microbial species and also their expression in the form of phenotypes. Genetics of bacteria conveys the mechanisms and nature of their heritable information, genome, plasmids, transposons or jumping genes, and phases. Using microbes, protocols are made to insert genes into bacterial plasmids, taking advantage of their fast reproduction, to make biomill for the gene of interest. Such genetically engineered bacteria can produce pharmaceuticals such as insulin, human growth hormone, interferon and blood clotting factors.
