Question

Match each microorganism with the correct activity:

Name of micro-organism	Activity associated
(A) Pseudomonas	(I) Pathogenic and spoilage both
(B) S. thermophilus; L. lactis ssp. lactis	(II) Flavour production
(C) Enterobacteriaceae	(III) Spoilage
(D) L. lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis	(IV) Acid Production

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)

Hint:

Associate the sub-species "diacetylactis" directly with diacetyl synthesis, which is the primary source of buttery Flavour production (D--II). This easily distinguishes it from standard acid producers.
