All of the Following are Desirable Features in a Microbial

Question

All of the following are desirable features in a microbial cloning host, except
A)the host can be grown in large quantities.
B)the host has a slow growth rate.
C)the host is capable of accepting plasmid vectors.
D)the host will secrete a high yield of proteins from expressed foreign genes.
E)the host has a well-delineated genome.

Accepted Answer

A slow growth rate would not be a desirable feature in a microbial cloning host as it would slow down the overall process of cloning and protein expression. All of the other options listed would be desirable features as they would allow for efficient cloning and protein expression.
