Which one of the followings is responsible for producing the large holes in "Swiss cheese"?

Propionibacterium sharmanii

The correct answer is Option (2) → Propionibacterium sharmanii 

Cheese is one of the oldest food items in which microbes were used. Different varieties of cheese are known by their characteristic texture, flavour and taste, the specificity coming from the microbes used. For example, the large holes in ‘Swiss cheese’ are due to production of a large amount of CO₂ by a bacterium named Propionibacterium sharmanii. The ‘Roquefort cheese’ are ripened by growing a specific fungi on them, which gives them a particular flavour.
