Ethanol is commercially produced through a particular species of
A
$Aspergillus$
B
$Saccharomyces$
C
$Clostridium$
D
$Trichoderma$
Detailed Solution
The yeast $Saccharomyces\ cerevisiae$ (brewer's yeast) is used for the commercial production of ethanol by fermentation of malted cereals and fruit juices.
$Aspergillus\ niger$ is used for producing citric acid.
$Clostridium\ butylicum$ is used for producing butyric acid.
$Trichoderma\ polysporum$ is the source of cyclosporin A, an immunosuppressive agent.
Hence ethanol is commercially produced through a species of $Saccharomyces$.
