| No. | Column I (Microbes) | No. | Column II (Functions) |
| I | Propionibacterium sharmanii | A | Produces an immunosuppressive agent |
| II | Streptococcus | B | Nitrogen fixation in soil |
| III | Trichoderma polysporum | C | Produce large holes in Swiss cheese |
| IV | Rhizobium | D | Produces enzyme used as clot-buster |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
I.Propionibacterium sharmanii is a bacterium which produces large amount of. This is responsible for the production of large holes which are seen in Swiss Cheese.
II.Streptococcusproduces the enzyme 'streptokinase'. Streptokinase is modified by genetic engineering and used as a 'clot buster' for removing clots from blood vessels of patients who had a myocardial infarct.
III.Trichoderma polysporumproduces 'cyclosporin-A', which is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients.
IV.Rhizobiumforms nodules on the roots of leguminous plants through symbiotic associations. They are responsible for fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the soil.
