Solution

The correct option is D

Methanogenic bacteria -Gobar gas formation


Aspergillus niger carries out fermentation to form citric acid. Fungus Trichoderma polysporum produces cyclosporin through fermentative activity. Cyclosporin-A has antifungal, anti-inflammatory and immuno-suppressive properties. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast/brewer's yeast) is used in production of bread/alcohol. Methanogenic bacteria carry out microbial decomposition of organic matter and aids in gobar gas production.
