Solution

The correct option is B False
While some of the microbes can produce proteins that can aid humans therapeutically or non therapeutically, none of them can produce human versions of proteins, unless the gene that produces the particular protein is inserted into the genome of the microbe as a direct result of human action and genetic engineering. Therefore, it is false to assume that bacteria that occur in nature are capable of synthesizing human proteins.
