Step-by-step solution
Streptococcus produces streptokinase, which is modified by genetic engineering and used as a 'clot buster' for removing clots from the blood vessels of patients who have undergone myocardial infarction. Trichoderma polysporum is a fungus that produces cyclosporin A, which is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients. Monascus purpureus is a yeast that produces statins, which are used as blood cholesterol lowering agents. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is commonly known as brewer's yeast and is used
