- P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4
- P-1, Q-3, R-4, S-2
- P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4
- P-3, Q-2, R-4, S-1
Correct Option: C
Microbial species such as Aspergillus Niger have been utilized in many researches of gluconic acid fermentation.
Strains of Brevibacterium flavum are used for the synthesis of L- lysine.
Dextran is synthesized from sucrose by certain lactic-acid bacteria, the best-known being Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Streptococcus mutans. Trichoderma reesei is an industrially important cellulolytic filamentous fungus. T. reesei has the capacity to secrete large amounts of cellulolytic enzymes (cellulases and hemicellulases).
