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 need help answering this question to my professor: The topic for the discussion was this one: Some potentially pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including strains of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Candida, and Aspergillus, can survive for one to three months on a variety of materials found in hospitals, including scrub suits, lab coats, plastic aprons, and computer keyboards. What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens? My answer was this one: To reduce the spread of these pathogens an infection control protocol should be followed. Some ways in which this could be reduced is by using desinfectants, sterilization, hand washing, and disposing techniques. In addition, I currently work as a dental assistant at Jackson Main and the protocol we use is hand washing our hands for at least 20 seconds before and after seeing every patient. We use CaviWipes to disinfect every surface and autoclave every single instrument after every use. Also, we make sure to…arrow_forwardPick one bacterial, a viral, and eukaryotic pathogen of the Digestive, Circulatory, or lymphatic or nervous system.
