Question

Name the blank spaces a,b,c and d in the following table

Type of Microbe	Name	Commercial product
Bacterium	a	Clot buster enzyme
b	Aspergillus niger	Citric acid
Fungus	Trichoderma polysporum	c
Bacterium	d	Butyric acid

Answer 1

Hint: Bacteria and fungi are two kinds of microscopic organisms. Both bacteria and fungi are heterotrophs that use external organic substances as food. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells while fungi are Eukaryotic cells.

Complete step-by-step answer:
 Streptokinase is the product made by the bacterium Streptococcus. This is called clot buster. This chemical helps to remove clots from the blood vessels of patients who have undergone myocardial infarction. This product can also be used to remove the clots in the arteries and lungs.
Aspergillus niger is a haploid filamentous fungus that is used for waste disposal and biotransformation in addition to its industrial uses, like the production of citric acid and extracellular enzymes.
Cyclosporin-A is produced by a fungus known as Trichoderma polysporum. Cyclosporine is used together with other medicines to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ (eg, liver, kidney, or heart). It belongs to a group of medicines called immunosuppressive agents.

Clostridium butylicum generates butyric acid from glucose. Butyric acid is an essential fatty acid generated when good bacteria in the gut decompose dietary fibre. It is found naturally in vegetable oils and animal fats, though, the quantity of butyric acid found in food sources is less compared with the amount produced in the gut.

Note: Bacteria are small single-celled organisms. Bacteria are found almost anywhere on earth and are essential to the planet's ecosystems. Some species can live under the most extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. The human body is full of bacteria and actually is estimated to hold more bacterial cells than human cells. A fungus is a primitive organism. Mushrooms, mould, and mildew are examples. Fungi live in the air, on plants, in soil, and in water. Some live in the human body. Only half of all kinds of fungi are harmful.
