Which of the following organisms is used in the production of beverages?
A
Penicillium notatum
B
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
C
Aspergillus niger
D
Clostridium butylicum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Yeast is used to manufacture alcoholic beverages like wine and beer.

Detailed explanation-2: -cerevisiae is involved in the production of many fermented beverages, such as wine, beer and cider; distilled beverages, such as rum, vodka, whisky, brandy, and sake; whereas in other alcoholic beverages worldwide, from fruits, honey, and tea, S. cerevisiae is also involved [22].

Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation processes to produce wines, beers and ciders are traditionally carried out with Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, the most common and commercially available yeast.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is well established that the most important agent of alcoholic fermentation is S. cerevisiae, the yeast that is used widely in several fermentation industries (wine, beer, cider, and bread) as a microbial starter.

Detailed explanation-5: -Saccharomyces cerevisiae is considered to a top–fermenting yeast because as the yeast flocculate or clump together they attach to the carbon dioxide being produced and float to the top of the wort. This allowed brewers to collect the yeast and create more colonies for later beers.
