Question

Which of the following is used in both food production and industrial fermentation?
A) Bacillus thuringiensis
B) Escherichia coli
C) Listeria monocytogenes
D) Pseudomonas syringae
E) Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Accepted Answer

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used in both food production (such as bread, beer, and wine) and industrial fermentation (for the production of various chemicals and biofuels). The other options listed may be used in other applications (such as pesticide production for Bacillus thuringiensis and plant disease control for Pseudomonas syringae), but are not commonly used in food production or industrial fermentation.
