Select the correct statement.

  • Acetobacter aceti produces citric acid

  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used as clot buster

  • Penicillium notatum restrict the growth of Staphylococci

  • Methanogens are found in aerobic conditions

Solution

C.

Penicillium notatum restrict the growth of Staphylococci

Penicillium notatum restricts the growth of Staphylococci

Acetobacter acetii produces acetic acid. 

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used for commercial production of ethanol. 

Streptococcus produces streptokinase which is modified by genetic engineering to be used as a clot buster for removing clots from the blood vessels of patients.

Bacteria which produce methane are collectively called methanogens and one such common bacterium is Methanobacterium. These are commonly found in anaerobic sludge during sewage treatment.
