Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. $1$. Statins are produced by the yeast $Monascus purpureus$ and act as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. $2$. Cyclosporin $A$ is produced by the fungus $Trichoderma polysporum$ and is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplant patients. $3$. Streptokinase is produced by the bacterium $Streptococcus$ and is used as a 'clot buster' for removing clots from the blood vessels of patients who have undergone myocardial infarction. $4$. $Monascus purpureus$ produces statins, not riboflavin. Riboflavin is produced by fungi like $Ashbya gossypii$ or $Eremothecium ashbyii$. Therefore, the pair 'Monascus - Produces riboflavin' is mismatched.
