To review:
The usage of different industrial strains or species to express different forms of cloned products.
Introduction:
The characteristics and growth cycle of an industrial strain are known. The strain can be optimized according to the requirement. The industrial strain should possess some key properties such as genetic stability, easily manipulated, non-toxic, inexpensive, efficient gene expression, and the product should be ready for harvestation.
Explanation of Solution
Different types of industrial strains possess distinct kinds of biochemical systems that favor various products. For instance, certain types of
Bacterial cells such as Bacillus subtilis are highly predictable when it comes to their growth cycles. They do not pose much difficulty when manipulated in order to express the recombinant products such as human genes encoding several essential proteins. The bacterial cells multiply at a much faster rate and hence, the production of desired products can be achieved at maximum.

- I don't know how to fill in this table. I submitted this question yesterday but the answer did not match up with the answer bank. These are the options to fill in the table - true pathogen, secondary infection, portal of exit, syndrome, portal of entry, oppunistic infection, opportunistic pathogen, morbidity, health care associated infection, virulence factor, pathogenicity, toxemiaarrow_forwardMost pathogens fall into which group on this chart?arrow_forwardName the 10 different pathogen groups in descending order according to size (from the largest to the smallest).arrow_forward
- List 5 agents (physical or chemical) which could be used to destroy the life of microorganisms by coagulating its protein.arrow_forwardPick one foodborne pathogen/illness and describe the organism that is associated with this foodborne pathogen/illness, sources, and diseases/symptoms.arrow_forwardWhy don’t health departments routinely test for pathogens instead of using a sewage indicator?arrow_forward
- Foodborne pathogens often require the presence of a large number of microbes before an active infection results. These microbes would have a high A.) median infectious dose (ID50). B.) incubation period. C.) virulence. D.) median lethal dose (LD50). E.) mortality.arrow_forwardWhich of the following strains of pathogens has the lowest incidence?a. VRE b. VRSA c. MRSA d. MRSEarrow_forwardDefine the terms primary pathogen, opportunist, and virulence.arrow_forward
- Match descriptions with terms. Some choices may be used more than once, and others not at all. Microbes in this part of the body probably arrive by fecal-oral transmission. The airway, gastrointestinal tract, and genito-urinary tract are lined with this Skin microbes plus microbes in this location on the body comprise the normal flora Pathogens in this location are invasive. A. raw eggs B. gastrointestinal tract C. blood D. mucosal surfaces E. there is no such locationarrow_forwardTo combat the virulence and transmission of a disease, health care officials sometimes discuss “disease control methods.” What are some such methods that we have been seeing recently?arrow_forwardDifferentiate between a microbe’s pathogenicity and its virulence.arrow_forward
