A. The bottled fruit juices bought from the market are clearer as compared to those made at home. This is because the bottled juices are clarified by the use of pectinases and proteases. Pectinase is a class of enzyme which is used to break down pectin. These enzymes are also referred to as pectic enzymes. Proteases are the enzymes which break down the peptide linkage in the amino acids to release the simplest compounds called amino acids. This therefore helps in making the fruit juices clearer.

B. Streptokinase, produced by the bacterium Streptococcus and genetically modified, serves as a "clot buster" in the removal of blood clots from the vessels of individuals who have experienced a heart attack.

C. Microbes are used for production of enzymes. Lipases are used in detergent formulations and are helpful in removing oily stains from the laundry.

D. Cyclosporin A is a bioactive molecule that is widely used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients. It plays a crucial role in preventing organ rejection by suppressing the immune system's response to the transplanted organ. This important medication is derived from the fungus Trichoderma polysporum.
