Question

Match the following organisms with the products they produce:

Column I
(a) Aspergillus niger
(b) Acetobacter aceti
(c) Clostridium butyricum
(d) Lactobacillus

Column II
(i) Ethanol
(ii) Citric acid
(iii) Lactic acid
(iv) Acetic acid
(v) Butyric acid

Accepted Answer

According to the text:
- Aspergillus niger (a fungus) produces Citric acid (ii).
- Acetobacter aceti (a bacterium) produces Acetic acid (iv).
- Clostridium butyricum (a bacterium) produces Butyric acid (v).
- Lactobacillus (a bacterium) produces Lactic acid (iii).
- Ethanol is produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast).
Therefore, the correct matching sequence is (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(v), (d)-(iii).
