Radio waves reprogram bacteria to become vital drugs with 91% efficacy | High frequency radio waves show to be a more efficient method to add DNA to bacterial cells than conventional approaches such as heat shock.
High frequency radio waves are a far efficient method to add DNA to bacterial cells than conventional approaches such as heat shock.
A collaboration between researchers at the RMIT University in Australia and a private biotechnology firm in the US has successfully demonstrated the use of high-frequency radiowaves to temporarily open up bacterial cell walls to introduce new genetic material into them. The newly introduced material can supercharge the bacteria to produce vital medicines like insulin. The genetic material of this simple microscopic organism can be easily modified by introducing smaller, circular bits of DNA called plasmids that carry information to carry out specific tasks.
