[In order to make a microorganism produce an industrially useful protein that it does not normally synthesize,] the idea is to transfer an individual gene coding for the desired product into a host microorganism and grow the organism in volume to yield the product. So far the bacterium Escherichia coli has served almost exclusively as the host because effective vector plasmids, whose DNA has been mapped in fine detail, are available for this workhorse of molecular biology. 2, record 1, English, - vector%20plasmid

The 603 corn line was created through direct DNA transformation by microparticle bombardment of plant cells with DNA-coated gold particles and regeneration of plants by tissue culture on selective medium. The plasmid vector used in the transformation, a gel-isolated linear restriction fragment designated PV-ZMGT32L, contains two adjacent plant gene expression cassettes, each containing a single copy of the CP4 EPSPS encoding gene. 2, record 2, English, - plasmid%20vector
