Question

Match List I with List II:

LIST I	LIST II
A. Bifidobacterium longum	I. Acidocin
B. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis	II. Lacticin
C. Lactobacillus acidophilus	III. Lantibiotics
D. Lactobacillus lactis	IV. Nisin

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
• B. (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
• C. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
• D. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Hint:

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce bacteriocins that are important for food safety and fermentation processes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The matching of LAB strains to their respective bacteriocins is as follows:
- Bifidobacterium longum produces Lantibiotics (III),
- Lactococcus lactis produces Nisin (IV),
- Lactobacillus acidophilus produces Acidocin (I),
- Lactobacillus lactis produces Lacticin (II).
