Question

Suppression of regulatory mechanism is necessary in mutation for strain improvement.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me during an interview.

I need to ask this question from Medium Formulation topic in portion Introduction to Fermentation Processes & Media for Industrial Fermentation of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

The explanation: Microorganisms usually have regulatory mechanisms that control the amount of metabolites synthesized, therefore suppression of regulatory mechanisms is necessary to develop the strains for higher yields.
