Which bacteria is utilized in Gober gas plant:-
Updated On: May 19, 2024
- Methanogens
- Nitrifying bacteria
- Ammonifying bacteria
- Denitrifying bacteria.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Methanogens are a type of archaebacteria that occurs in marshes, swamps and rumen of cattles. They are obligate anaerobes that can catabolize acetate and H2 to gaseous products and are used in the final stage 446 called methanogenesis of biogas production in gobar gas plant. Nitrilying bacteria oxidise NH3, into NO2 and later to NO3. Ammonifying bacteria convert proteins into NH3 Denitrifying bacteria reduce NO3, into NH3,.

Concepts Used:
Microbes in Human Welfare
There are several valuable microorganisms that are beneficial to humans in various manners such as:
In Household Products
- Fermentation of milk to produce yogurt.
- Milk cuddling to compose curd, cheese, and paneer.
In Industrial Products
- Production of beverages such as wine, beer, whiskey, brandy, or rum.
- Production of antibiotics such as Penicillin and other chemical substances to kill or retard the expansion of disease-causing microbes.
Fermented Beverages
- A fermentor is used to produce microbes on a large scale for industrial purposes.
- The brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is used to make ethanol. At this time, the yeast ferments malted cereals and fruit juices.
Antibiotics
- The term antibiotic means “against life”. These materials can kill or destroy the growth of other microbes.
