8 Important Types of Microbial Mutants | Microbiology
The following points highlight the eight important types of microbial mutants. The types are: 1. Auxotrophic Mutants 2. Resistant Mutants 3. Cryptic Mutants 4. Conditionally Expressed Mutants 5. Antigenic Mutants 6. Metabolic Mutants 7. Regulatory Mutants 8. Temperature-Sensitive Mutants. Microbial Mutant: Type # 1. Auxotrophic Mutants: Auxotrophic mutants are those that are nutritionally deficient, i.e., […]
Practical Implacability of Mutants: 4 Examples
The following points highlight the top four examples to substantiate the practical implacability of microbial mutants. 1. Induced mutants have been used extensively in the investigation of various biochemical processes, particularly metabolic reactions. Metabolic processes occur via sequences of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and by developing mutants in which the genes coding for enzymes are mutated (altered), […]
