Why is bacteria good?

... production. Just bear in mind that also eukaryotic cells can be used in similar manner; yeasts are often used, as are insect cells (with e.g. baculovirus vectors) and even human cells. But this is where the benefits of bacteria can be seen: they are much more simple and cheap to grow than ...

gene cloning and amplification

... TATA box, stop codon, for E coli; enhancers sometimes for mammalian cell expression; insect-specific upstream or downstream elements for baculovirus expression etc). You may induce expression especially when using E coli, but that's not amplification of the sequence. Induction is turning ...
