Which of the following microbes is correctly paired with its function?
Which of the following microbes is correctly paired with its function?
Aspergillus niger - Production of lactic acid
Trichoderma – Lowers blood polysporum cholesterol
Saccharomyces – Production of citric cerevisiae acid
Methanogenic – Gobar gas formation bacteria
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.
