Solution
The correct option is A Pseudomonas
- Pseudomonas are naturally a biocontrol agent which can be used for the process of bioremediation.
- They produce enzymes which are capable of degrading the organic waste.
- Some of the strains of the Pseudomonas are genetically modified so that it be use to control pollutants on a large scale such as oil spills that take place in the ocean.
- Some of the strains from Pseudomonas are even transferred in E. coli to produce the enzymes capable for degrading organic compounds. This was done to increase the production of the enzymes.
- So, the correct answer is 'Pseudomonas'
