Solution

The three microbes that can be chosen for organic farming are as follows:
1) Mycorrhiza: It helps in trapping nitrogen for the plants.
2) Anabaena: It is involved in the process of nitrogen fixation.
3) Rhizobium: It plays a role in nitrogen fixation.

Monascus produces a group of drugs called statins that are used to lower the cholesterol in the body.
Methanobacterium is used in the biological generation of methane by anaerobic processes.
Trichoderma produces cyclosporin A which is used as an immunosuppressive agent.
