The investigation of the lac operon for the metabolism of lactose was done by __________ Correct Answer Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod

The pioneering studies of gene regulation in E. coli were carried out by Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod in the 1950s. These investigators and their colleagues analyzed the expression of enzymes involved in the metabolism of lactose, which can be used as a source of carbon and energy via cleavage of glucose and galactose.
