The correct answer is (c) Mortierella vinacea

The best explanation: Mortierella vinacea is stirred with sugar beet juice in batch stirred tank reactors to remove raffinose. The galactose released is destroyed in the alkaline conditions of the first stages of juice purification and does not cause any further problems while the sucrose is recovered. Kluyveromyces lactis produces lactase. Bacillus Licheniformis produces amylases. Pullulanase is produced by Bacillus acidopullulyticus.
