Match Column I containing names of antibiotics with Column II...
Match Column I containing names of antibiotics with Column II containing their microbial sources.
Choose the correct option
| Column I (Names of antibiotics) | Column II (Microbial source) |
|---|---|
| (A) Chloromycetin | (I) Penicillium griseofulrus |
| (B) Erythromycin | (II) Streptomyces aurifaciems |
| (C) Griseofulvin | (III) Streptomyces venezuelae |
| (D) Terramycin | (IV) Streptomyces erythreus |
Options
- AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- BA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- CA-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
- DA-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
Correct answer
A. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Step-by-step solution
Chloromycetin (also known as chloramphenicol) is an antibiotic isolated from the soil bacterium Streptomyces venezuelae. Thus, A matches with III.
Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic produced by the actinomycete Streptomyces erythreus. Thus, B matches with IV.
Griseofulvin is an antifungal medication derived from the fungus Penicillium griseofulvum. Thus, C matches with I.
Terramycin belongs to the tetracycline group of antibiotics. While typically associated with Streptomyces rimosus, in the context of the given options, it is matched with Streptomyces aureofaciens (which produces the closely related chlortetracycline). Thus, D matches with II.
The correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
