Which of the following microbes is correctly paired with its function?

Options

  1. AAspergillus niger - Production of lactic acid
  2. BTrichoderma – Lowers blood polysporum cholesterol
  3. CSaccharomyces – Production of citric cerevisiae acid
  4. DMethanogenic – Gobar gas formation bacteria

Correct answer

D. Methanogenic – Gobar gas formation bacteria

Step-by-step solution

Aspergillus niger carries out fermentation to form citric acid. Fungus Trichoderma polysporum produces cyclosporin through fermentative activity. Cyclosporin-A has antifungal, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast/brewer's yeast) is used in production of bread/alcohol. Methanogenic bacteria carry out microbial decomposition of organic matter and aids in gobar gas production.
