Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
- Cyanobacteria
- Archaebacteria
- Chemosynthetic autotrophs
- Heterotrophic bacteria
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Maximum number of antibiotics are produced by mycelial bacteria known as actinomycetes and most of the actinomycets are saprotrophic (heterotrophic). Lactic acid bacteria that are used in preparation of curd are also heterotrophic ones.
