- P-1,Q-3,R-4,S-2
Correct Option: B
Mostly, Glutamic acid is produced by the species of Corynebacterium particularly Corynebacterium lilium. Klebsiella oxytoca produces butanol and in this case 2, 3-butane-diol. Citric acid is a common product of fermentation of the fungi Aspergillus niger. Alkaligenes eutrophus commonly produces butyric acids along with other derivatives through its fermentation.
