Splice a gene into a plasmid and a microbe will start manufacturing insulin or an antibody it never needed for itself, the same trick fermentation has used on yeast for thousands of years. CRISPR edits the code directly instead of borrowing it, and a transgenic plant carries a gene no relative of it ever had. A bioreactor is where the culture grows large enough to matter.
