Select the correct option from the following
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Bacillus thuringiensis produces the cry proteins, which are Bt toxins and have insecticidal properties.
The highly thermostable DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus is ideal for both manual and automated DNA sequencing because it is fast & highly processive and remains active during the high temperature-induced denaturation of double stranded DNA.
The tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid of Agrobacterium tumifaciens has been modified into a cloning vector. It is used to deliver required genes into plants.
Salmonella typhimurium is used for construction of first recombinant DNA.
