The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is option (D): (i-R); (ii-P); (iii-Q); (iv-S)
1. Propionibacterium Shermanni is a gram-positive bacteria. It is highly used in the production of Swiss cheese. This bacteria produces, acetate, propionic acid, and carbon dioxide as a by-product. 2. Saccharomyces Cerevisiae is widely used to produce ethanol through fermenting fruit juices. They have a probiotic activity and thus inhibit pathogenic bacterial growth. 3. Aspergillus niger is a workhouse for the production of citric acid. Microbial acid is an organic acid widely used in pharmaceutical food and beverages. 4. Trichoderma polypore produces cyclosporin A that acts as an immunosuppressor during organ transplant

Concepts Used:

Microbes in Human Welfare

There are several valuable microorganisms that are beneficial to humans in various manners such as:

In Household Products

  1. Fermentation of milk to produce yogurt.
  2. Milk cuddling to compose curd, cheese, and paneer.

In Industrial Products

  1. Production of beverages such as wine, beer, whiskey, brandy, or rum.
  2. Production of antibiotics such as Penicillin and other chemical substances to kill or retard the expansion of disease-causing microbes.

Fermented Beverages

  1. A fermentor is used to produce microbes on a large scale for industrial purposes.
  2. The brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is used to make ethanol. At this time, the yeast ferments malted cereals and fruit juices.

Antibiotics

  1. The term antibiotic means “against life”. These materials can kill or destroy the growth of other microbes.
