Modern detergents contain enzyme preparations of:

  1. Acidophiles
  2. Alkaliphiles
  3. Thermoacidophiles
  4. Thermophiles

Correct answer: Alkaliphiles

Solution

Modern detergents are formulated to function in alkaline wash conditions, so their enzyme preparations come from organisms that naturally live and produce enzymes in high-pH environments. Alkaliphiles are adapted to alkaline habitats and their enzymes remain active and stable in detergents.
