The correct mathing is: Cyclosporin A is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum. It is used as an immunosuppressive agent that prevents rejection in pateints who have had transplants of kidneys, liver, pancreas, etc.
Strepkinase is obtained from Streptomyces sp. It helps in dissolving blood clots inside the blood vessels and has fibrinolytic effect.
Statins are produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus. They are used as agents that lower the blood -cholesterol. Penicillin is obtained from Penicillium, used in pharmaceuticals as antibiotics.
