Streptokinase produced by bacterium Streptococcus is used for _______.
- A Curd production
- B Ethanol production
- C Liver disease treatment
- D Removing clots from blood vessels
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Removing clots from blood vessels
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Streptokinase produced by the bacterium Streptococcus and modified by genetic engineering is used as a 'clot buster' for removing clots from blood vessels of patients who have undergone myocardial infarction leading to heart attack. Curd production is done by Lactobacillus and ethanol production is done by Saccharomyces.
