Solution
The correct option is D Butyric acid bacteria
A very important step in the jute industry is retting. During this process, some microorganisms decompose pectins of jute bark and the intervening tissues disintegrate. The pectins are divided into three groups: (a)proto-pectins, (b) pectins, (c) pectic acids. The enzyme protopectinase is known as hydrolyse protopectin. Pectin is broken down by the enzyme pectinase to galacturonic acid and other residues. Microorganisms are capable of producing one or all of these enzymes, that break down the pectic substances. One common example used in retting of jute is butyric acid bacteria. With the help of butyric bacteria growing in water, the fibres become free from the stem in jute.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
