Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. $Aspergillus niger$ is a fungus used for the production of citric acid. $Trichoderma polysporum$ is a fungus used for the production of cyclosporin $A$. $Clostridium butylicum$ is a bacterium used for the production of butyric acid. $Penicillium notatum$ is a fungus used for the production of penicillin (an antibiotic),whereas the others are primarily used for the production of industrial chemicals or bioactive molecules. However,in the context of industrial microbiology,$Penicillium notatum$ is the odd one because it is the source of the first antibiotic,while the others are used for organic acids or immunosuppressants.
