Solution
The correct option is D Amylase
Aspergillus niger is a haploid filamentous fungus which is used for waste management and biotransformations in addition to its industrial uses, such as the production of citric acid and extracellular enzymes such as Amylase.
It is one of the most important microorganisms in biotechnology. It has been already used to produce extracellular enzymes such as glucose oxidase, pectinase, α-amylase and glucoamylase, organic acids, and recombinant proteins.
