Correct answer: A
To match the microbes in List-I with their respective products in List-II, we need to understand the specific functions and products associated with these microbes:
- Streptococcus: This genus is known for producing enzymes that can act as clot busters, commonly used in medical treatments for dissolving blood clots.
- Trichoderma polysporum: This fungus is known for producing Cyclosporin A, which is an immunosuppressant drug used in organ transplantation.
- Monascus purpureus: This fungus produces Statins, which are compounds used to lower cholesterol levels in blood.
- Aspergillus niger: This fungus is known for producing Citric acid, which is widely used as a preservative and flavoring agent.
By matching the microbes with their respective products, we get:
So, the correct matching is:
