$S a c c h a r o m y c e s c e r e v i s i a e -$ Commercial production of ethanol

Yeast $(S a c c h a r o m y c e s c e r e v i s i a e)$ yields ethanol and carbon dioxide on fermentation. Hence, it is utilised for the production of ethanol at commercial levels.

$M o n a s c u s p u r p u r e u s -$ Production of blood cholesterol lowering agents

Statins are blood cholesterol lowering agents produced by the yeast, $M o n a s c u s p u r p u r e u s$ . It is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme that catalyses the biosynthesis of cholesterol, thus helping in lowering blood cholesterol levels.

$T r i c h o d e r m a p o l y s p o r u m -$ Production of immunosuppressive agents

$T r i c h o d e r m a p o l y s p o r u m$ is a fungus that is employed to produce Cyclosporin A which has immunosuppressive properties. Therefore, it is used to prevent tissue rejection after transplantation.

$P r o p i o n i b a c t e r i u m s h e r m a n i i -$ Ripening of Swiss
cheese

$P r o p i o n i b a c t e r i u m s h e r m a n i i$ is responsible for producing large holes in swiss cheese by releasing $C O_{2}$ .
