Match List I with List II regarding microbes, their products, and applications: List I List II A Acetobacter aceti I Clarification of bottled juices B Clostridium butylicum II Used in detergent formulations C Lipases III Butyric acid D Pectinases IV Acetic acid Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

Acetobacter aceti is a bacterium that produces acetic acid. Thus, A matches with IV. Clostridium butylicum is a bacterium that produces butyric acid. Thus, B matches with III. Lipases are enzymes used in detergent formulations to help remove oily and greasy stains from laundry. Thus, C matches with II. Pectinases (along with proteases) are enzymes used commercially for the clarification of bottled fruit juices. Thus, D matches with I. The correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I. Answer: A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
