This organism developed the ability to metabolize citrate in one experiment, and it has been used in recombinant form to produce usable human insulin. Seymour Benzer used this organism with a T4 phage to investigate gene structure, and conjugation was first observed in it by Edward Tatum. In 2001, a complete genetic sequence was made of this organi
This organism developed the ability to metabolize citrate in one experiment, and it has been used in recombinant form to produce usable human insulin. Seymour Benzer used this organism with a T4 phage to investigate gene structure, and conjugation was first observed in it by Edward Tatum. In 2001, a complete genetic sequence was made of this organism's O157:H7 strain. That type may cause bloody diarrhea and kidney failure if consumed. For 10 points, name this model organism, a bacterium sometimes found in the intestines.
