    Two bacteria found to be very useful in genetic engineering experiments are

    A)  Escherichia and Agrobacterium

    B)  Nitrobacter and Azotobacter

    C)  Rhizobium and Diplococcus

    D)  Nitrosomonas and Klebsiella

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Escherichia and Agrobacterium are both used as vectors in genetic engineering. Nitrobacter converts nitrites to nitrates. Azotobacter is a free living nitrogen fixing bacteria. Nitrosomonas converts ammonia to nitrates. Rhizobium is a symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria living in the root nodules of leguminous plants Diplococcus pneumonia causes pneumonia. Hence, the correct option is [a].
