Correct answer: C. Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Ethanol

  • A. Methanobacterium: Lactic acid
  • B. Penicillium notatum: Acetic acid
  • C. Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Ethanol
  • D. Acetobacter aceti: Antibiotics

Explanation

S. cerevisiae is the primary industrial ethanol producer and is the most ethanol-tolerant natural yeast known, however, cannot metabolize xylose. S. stipitis can effectively ferment both glucose and xylose and, however, has low ethanol tolerance and requires oxygen for growth.
