Methods for Strain Improvement in Biotechnology Quiz

They are too difficult to culture in a laboratory setting

They can only produce a limited amount of biomolecules (correct)

They lack the necessary genetic material

They have unpredictable growth patterns

To increase their genetic instability

To diversify their biomolecule production

To improve their performance (correct)

To enhance their resistance to toxins

Introducing unpredictable genetic mutations

Enhancing their susceptibility to toxins

Increasing genetic stability (correct)

Reducing their biomolecule production

<p>Wild-type strains can produce only a limited amount of biomolecules, therefore, it is not practical to use them for industrial-scale production or other biotechnological uses like biodegradation of toxins. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the performance of wild-type strains. For improvement of wild-type strains, it is important to understand that these strains can be engineered or improved in a way that could increase genetic stability.</p> Signup and view all the answers
