Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) Wine or beer — this matches (IV) Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Brewer’s yeast ferments malted cereals and fruit juices into ethanol; wine and beer are made without distillation.
(B) Swiss Cheese — this matches (III) Propionibacterium sharmanii. This bacterium makes a large amount of CO2, which leaves the big holes in Swiss cheese.
(C) Antibiotic — this matches (I) Penicillium notatum. Alexander Fleming found that this mould makes penicillin, which kills Staphylococci.
(D) Citric Acid — this matches (II) Aspergillus niger. This fungus is the commercial producer of citric acid.
