What Does GEM Stand For?
GEM stands for Genetically Engineered Microorganism
GEM, or Genetically Engineered Microorganism, refers to microorganisms that have been modified using genetic engineering techniques to alter their genetic material. These modifications enable GEMs to exhibit desired traits or capabilities, such as enhanced metabolic pathways, increased resistance to environmental stressors, or the ability to produce specific substances. GEMs are utilized in various fields, including biotechnology, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, for applications such as bioremediation, bioproduction of enzymes, and the development of genetically modified crops.
