Question

Which of the following is used for bread-making?

• A. S. cerevisiae
• B. Aspergillus
• C. Streptobacillus
• D. S. octosporus

Hint:

S. cerevisiae, or baker's yeast, is crucial for fermentation in bread-making, producing gas that helps the dough rise.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the yeast used in bread-making. 
S. cerevisiae, commonly known as baker's yeast, is used in bread-making as it ferments sugars to produce carbon dioxide, causing the bread to rise. 
Step 2: Analyze the options. 
Aspergillus is a genus of molds, not used for bread-making.
Streptobacillus is a genus of bacteria, not used in baking. 
S.octosporus is not a yeast species used in bread-making.
Conclusion: The correct answer is (A) S. cerevisiae.
