Question

To make bacteria produce certain aminoacid in industrial quantities, the most commonly used approach is:

A. Find the gene which encodes this aminoacid in human genome, and introduce this gene into bacteria

B. Find wild bacteria producing this aminoacid in large amounts and engineer the genome of this bacterium to make it overproduce it in even larger quantities

C. Mutate the bacterium in order to make sure it will acquire the gene for this aminoacid

D. Cross the bacterium which produces this aminoacid with bacterium which produces insulin as vector, then select offspring that produce both

E. Infect bacteria with a aminoacid-producing virus

Answer 1

And:- Find the gene which encodes this aminoacid in human genome, and introduce this gene into bacteria
