Describe how bacteria are used to produce enzymes for washing powders.

By using genetic engineering to insert the gene for the desired enzyme into the bacterial chromosome, then growing large amounts of the modified bacteria in fermenters.

Explanation:

Bacteria such as fungi or algae are inserted in fermenter and feedstock such as glucose, amino acid, sucrose are inserted to be a source of food for them.

Then they are left for a time for the bacteria to reproduce more and to produce more enzymes in their cells, Then if the enzymes are extracellular they are extracted directly from the filtrate, if they are intercellular they are separated from the feedstock and crushed to be separated with any solvent such as water.
