Description
Brine shrimp (Artemia salina) are hardy organisms capable of surviving extreme environmental conditions, making them an ideal candidate for genetic modification in biotechnological research. This study investigates the potential of genetically modifying brine shrimp to unlock new possibilities in biotechnology. By integrating foreign genes into their genome, we explore how genetic engineering can enhance their adaptability, stress tolerance, and overall viability, providing opportunities for novel applications in fields such as environmental monitoring, bioengineering, and sustainable aquaculture. Our findings highlight the promise of brine shrimp as a versatile and sustainable platform for genetic modification, opening doors to innovative approaches in biotechnology that leverage the unique biology of these organisms.
