The antibiotic resistance gene isolated by Cohen and Boyer was inserted in the plasmid found in which organism?

A
E.coli
B
Salmonella typhimurium
C
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
D
Bacillus subtilis

Solution:

The construction of the first recombinant DNA emerged from the possibility of linking a gene encoding antibiotic resistance with a native plasmid of Salmonella typhimurium. Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer accomplished this in 1972 by isolating the antibiotic resistance gene by cutting out a piece of DNA from a plasmid which was responsible for conferring antibiotic resistance.
