An Attribute of an Industrial Microbial Strain Is

Question

An attribute of an industrial microbial strain is
A) genetic stability and manipulation.
B) expensive growth requirements.
C) a low level of product expression.
D) pathogenic strains.
E) the cell is not easily breakable to liberate product.

Accepted Answer

Genetic stability and manipulation are important attributes of industrial microbial strains as they allow for consistent production and the ability to optimize and improve production through genetic engineering methods. Expensive growth requirements, low product expression, pathogenic strains, and difficult cell breakage are all undesirable attributes for an industrial microbial strain.
