Match List I with List II:
List I (Bioactive molecules)List II (Importance)
(A) Streptokinase(I) Immunosuppressive agent
(B) Statins(II) Removal of clots from the blood vessels
(C) Lipases(III) Blood cholesterol-lowering agent
(D) Cyclosporin A(IV) Detergent formulations
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution & Explanation

Related Formula

aligned Streptokinase &arrow Clot buster (bacterium Streptococcus) Statins &arrow Blood cholesterol lowering agent (fungus Monascus) Lipases &arrow Detergent formulations (removes oily stains) Cyclosporin A &arrow Immunosuppressive agent (fungus Trichoderma) aligned

Core Logic

Matching each bioactive molecule with its function:

  • (A) Streptokinase arrow Removal of clots from blood vessels (II)
  • (B) Statins arrow Blood cholesterol-lowering agent (III)
  • (C) Lipases arrow Detergent formulations (IV)
  • (D) Cyclosporin A arrow Immunosuppressive agent (I)
Step 1: Result

The correct match is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.

Pattern Recognition

Sees: "Streptokinase Statins Lipases Cyclosporin A". Shortcut: Streptokinase = Clot buster; Cyclosporin A = Immunosuppressive.

Q178 neet_2024_05_may_morning Microbes in Household Products - Swiss Cheese
What is the reason behind production of large holes in 'Swiss Cheese'?
  • A. The production of large amount of CO₂ by Clostridium butylicum
  • B. The production of large amount of CO₂ and H₂ by Trichoderma polysporum
  • C. The production of large amount of CO₂ and H₂ by lactic acid bacteria called Lactobacillus
  • D. The production of large amount of CO₂ by Propionibacterium sharmanii

Solution

Related Formula
Swiss Cheese Holes = Production of large volume of CO₂ by Propionibacterium sharmanii
Core Logic

The large characteristic holes in 'Swiss Cheese' are caused by the production of a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas during fermentation by the bacterium Propionibacterium sharmanii.

Step 1: Conclusion

Option (4) is the correct statement.

Pattern Recognition

Sees: "Swiss Cheese large holes". Shortcut: Propionibacterium sharmanii producing large amounts of CO₂.
