Question

Pick the odd one out.

(a) Bacillus subtilis

(b) Aspergillus Niger

(c) Mucor Javanicus

(d) Bacillus Licheniformis

I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Asked question is from Safety and Regulatory Aspects of Enzyme Use in section Enzyme Preparation and Usage of Enzyme Technology

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Bacillus Licheniformis

The best I can explain: The Association of Microbial Food Enzyme Producers (AMFEP) has suggested subdivisions of the FACC’s group B into 3 groups. Bacillus Licheniformis belong to Class bin8 microorganisms which are accepted as harmless contaminants present in food. Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus Niger, and Mucor Javanicus belong to Class ain8 microorganisms that have organisms which are traditionally been used in food or in food processing. Other belonging to this category are Aspergillus Oryzae, Rhizopus Oryzae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces fragilis, Kluyveromyces lactis etc.
