Identify a, b, c, d, e and/in the following table: Name of Enzyme/Bioactive Molecule Source Functions (i) a Streptococcus b (ii) c d immuno-suppressive agent in organ transplant patients (iii) Statins e f

i) a- Streptokinase; b- Dissolves blood clots Streptokinase produced by Streptococcus is used to remove blood clots from the blood vessels of a patient of myocardial infarction. ii) c- Cyclosporin A ; d- Trichoderma polysproum Trichoderma polysproum, a fungus, produces Cyclosporin A which is used as an immuno-suppressive agent in organ transplant patients. iii) e- Monascus purpureus ; f- blood-cholesterol lowering agent Monascus purpureus produces Statin which is used as a blood-cholesterol lowering agent, as it can inhibit the enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis.

Identify a, b, c, d, e, and f in the table given below: Organism Bioactive molecule Use Monascus purpureus a b c d Antibiotic e cyclosporine-A f

Organism Bioactive molecule Use Monascus purpureus a) Statin b) Cholesterol lowering Statins are bioactive molecules that is produced by yeast Monascus purpureus . Statins have been commercialised as cholesterol-lowering agents. Organism Bioactive molecule Use c) Penicillium notatum d) Penicillin Antibiotic Penicillium notatum is a fungus that produces penicillin. Penicillin is an antibiotic that kills or stop the growth of bacteria. Organism Bioactive molecule Use e) Trychoderma polysporum cyclosporine-A f) Immunosuppressives Trychoderma polysporum is a fungus prevalent in the soil. They produce a bioactive molecule called cyclosporine A that acts as immunosuppressive drugs. It is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ-transplant patients. It inhibits activation of T cells and therefore, prevents rejection reaction in organ transplantation.
