प्रश्न
Which fuels do we get from microbes?
उत्तर
- Methane, ethanol, hydrogen gas, etc. are fuels obtained by microbial processes.
- Majority of these fuels can be obtained by anaerobic decomposition of waste products such as domestic waste, agricultural waste, etc.
- Ethanol is a clean fuel which is obtained during the fermentation of molasses by Saccharomyces (yeast).

Read the following paragraph and write the answers to the questions asked.
Sulphuric acid is present in the acid rain and materials coming out of mines. You know that erosion of metals present in statues, bridges and buildings occurs due to it. Sulphuric acid is a source of energy for some species of bacteria like Acidiphilium spp. and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Hence, these bacteria can control the soil pollution occurring due to acid rain. Water soluble salts of uranium are present in the wastes produced during electroplating and in effluent released in the environment from the atomic energy plant. Geobacter convert these salts of uranium into insoluble salts and thereby prevent those salts from mixing with groundwater sources.
