  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify a microorganism that can produce biomass of protein.
    Solution
    Many species of bacteria have been investigated for use in single cell protein production. Methylophilus Methylotrophus has a generation time of about 2 hours and is usually and mainly used in animal feed as bacteria, in general produce a more favourable protein composition than yeast or fungi. Therefore the large quantities of single cell proteins animal feed can be produced using bacteria.
    Thus, the correct answer is option C.

    Solution
    Tissue culture technology is based on the fact that whole plant can be regenerated from explants i.e., any part of a plant grown in a test tube, under sterile conditions in special nutrient media and growth regulators. This capacity to generate a whole plant from any cell/explant is called totipotency. Each of these plants will be genetically identical to the original plant. Many important food plants like tomato, banana, apple etc., can be produced on the commercial scale by this method.
    Thus, the correct answer is option C.
