Question

1. A disease was caused by a bacterium; you want to produce a biological product to kill this bacterium. Which product you have to produce? How can you use your biotechnological knowledge to produce it in high amount?

Answer 1

You can use antibiotics to kill the bacteria. An example of antibiotic is penicillin that is synthesized by a fungus called penicillum notatum. You can use bioengineering to produce it in high amount. You extract the gene from the fungus using restriction enzymes and you introduce it into a plasmid of Ecoli with ligase. But Ecoli needs to also have the penicillin resistant gene.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Infectious diseases can be caused by: Bacteria. These one-cell organisms are responsible for illnesses such as strep throat, urinary tract infections and tuberculosis

Engineering sustainable food production.

Sea-water based bio-processes.

Non-resource draining zero waste bio-processing.

Using carbon dioxide as a raw material.
