The first recombinant DNA was constructed by linking an antibiotic resistant gene with thte native plasmid of

A

Escherichia coli

B

Salmonella typhimurium

C

Clostridium butylicum

D

Acetobacter acetic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
The construction of first recombinant DNA emerged from the linking of gene encoding antibiotic resistance gene with a native plasmid of Salmonella typhimurium.
It was accomplished by Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer in 1972. They isolated the antibiotic gene by cutting out a piece of DNA. This cutting of DNA at specific locations is carried out by molecular scissors also known as restriction enzymes.
