What relation can exist between plasmid copy number and product yield in a competent host?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increasing plasmid copy number may increase product yield, but it can also increase the metabolic burden on the host

A higher plasmid copy number can provide more copies of the target gene and may increase product yield. However, maintaining, transcribing, and expressing too many plasmids consumes host resources, increasing metabolic burden; this can reduce cell growth and may even lower the final yield. Hence, an optimum copy number is needed. Exam tip: do not assume that higher copy number always means higher yield; consider host burden.
