Question

Choose the incorrect pair.

• A. Streptococcus -- Streptokinase -- Clot removal from blood vessels
• B. Clostridium butylicum -- Lipase -- Oil stains removal
• C. Monascus purpureus -- Statins -- Lowering blood cholesterol
• D. Trichoderma polysporum -- Cyclosporin A -- Immunosuppressive drug

Hint:

Important microbe-product pairs: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} &\textit{Streptococcus} &&\rightarrow \text{Streptokinase} &\textit{Monascus\ purpureus} &&\rightarrow \text{Statins} &\textit{Trichoderma\ polysporum} &&\rightarrow \text{Cyclosporin A} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall important microbes and their products. \[ \begin{aligned} \textit{Streptococcus} &\rightarrow \text{Streptokinase} \textit{Monascus\ purpureus} &\rightarrow \text{Statins} \textit{Trichoderma\ polysporum} &\rightarrow \text{Cyclosporin A} \end{aligned} \] All these pairs are correct.

Step 2: Examine option (B). Clostridium butylicum is not known for commercial production of lipase used in detergent industries. Hence, this pairing is incorrect.

Step 3: Choose the incorrect pair. Therefore, \[ \boxed{(B)} \] is the correct answer.
