Question:medium

Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{Product} & \textbf{Producer} \\ \hline (A) \; \text{Citric Acid} & (I) \; \text{Trichoderma polysporum} \\ \hline (B) \; \text{Ethanol} & (II) \; \text{Monascus purpureus} \\ \hline (C) \; \text{Statins} & (III) \; \text{Saccharomyces cerevisiae} \\ \hline (D) \; \text{Cyclosporin A} & (IV) \; \text{Aspergillus niger} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

Show Hint

When matching products and producers, focus on common industrial uses like fermentation for ethanol or specific medicinal products like statins.

Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

- Citric Acid: Produced by Aspergillus niger for industrial processes. (A) - (I) is correct.
- Ethanol: Produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) for fermentation. (B) - (II) is correct.
- Statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs): Produced by Monascus purpureus (mold). (C) - (III) is correct.
- Cyclosporin A (immunosuppressant for organ rejection): Produced by Trichoderma polysporum. (D) - (IV) is correct.
Correct Match: (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
