(A) Citric acid is commercially produced using the fungus $Aspergillus$ $niger$. $Aspergillus$ $niger$ is a filamentous fungus that is highly efficient in the fermentation process to produce organic acids,specifically citric acid,on an industrial scale. Other options: $Clostridium$ $butylicum$ is used for the production of butyric acid. $Acetobacter$ $aceti$ is used for the production of acetic acid. $Propionibacterium$ $shermanii$ is used for the production of propionic acid.
