During the biotransformation of a large molecular weight compound,two major products are formed.While one of the products is catabolized,the other compounds accumulation represses the biotransformation of the large compound.Which approach is MOST likely to artificially enhance the biotransformation beyond this point in a batch culture?
A) addition of an isoenzyme for the biotransformation route to increase its transcription
B) addition of inducer molecules into the medium to increase transcriptional repression
C) inclusion of more of an intermediate compound in the catabolic pathway
D) spike in additional activator proteins that control the transcription of this pathway

Addition of an isoenzyme for the biotransformation route could increase the transcription of the biotransformation pathway and therefore enhance the biotransformation process beyond the point where the accumulation of the second product represses it. The other options do not directly address the issue of the repression of biotransformation by the accumulation of the second product.
