Detailed explanation-1: -The first genetically engineered microbe was created by an Indian-born microbiologist and genetic engineer, Ananda Chakrabarty, in 1971 [15]. The patent was approved in 1980 by the United States Supreme Court.
Detailed explanation-2: -so, the correct answer is ‘Pseudomonas putida’
Detailed explanation-3: -Mutations can result from errors during DNA replication or induced by exposure to mutagens (like chemicals and radiation).
Detailed explanation-4: -Microbial genetic engineering uses genetic operation tools to shear, splice, and integrate the target genes and then introduce them into chassis cells. Thus, the recombinant genes are transferred into the desired products or endow the bacteria with new phenotypes.
