Bacteria do not naturally produce insulin. Through recombinant DNA technology, the human insulin gene is inserted into bacterial cells. The bacteria then read this foreign gene and synthesize insulin as part of their normal protein production process. Providing just insulin ingredients does not enable bacteria to assemble insulin, as they lack the genetic instructions to do so.
