Practice question
Question
Microbes produce either primary or secondary metabolites during fermentation. A metabolite production curve is shown below: The following statements refer to the above figure: A. A primary metabolite has a production curve that lags behind the line showing cell growth. B. A primary metabolite is produced after the Trophophase is completed. C. A secondary metabolite is produced mainly during Idiophase. D. The curve shows the production of Penicillin from mold Which of the above statements are correct?
Explanation
Analysis of microbes produce either primary or secondary metabolites shows C and D represents established outcome. functional assays supports option B, whereas distractors confuse substrate or regulatory direction and fail to reproduce observed results.
