Question

Which one of the following is commonly known as a green mould?

• A. Aspergillus

Answer 1

The correct option is A Aspergillus

Aspergillus flavus colonies are commonly powdery masses of yellowish-green spores on the upper surface and reddish-gold on the lower surface. In both grains and legumes, infection is minimized to small areas, and discolouration and dullness of affected areas are often seen.

So, the correct answer is option A.
