In a gobar gas plant, methogens convert

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

In a gobar gas plant, complex insoluble polymers are converted to simple soluble monomers with the help of bacterial hydrolytic enzymes like lipases, cellulases, proteases, peptidases, etc. Anaerobic microbes likeClostridium, Pseudomonasare used for this process. Then the simple soluble monomers are further converted into organic acids, chiefly acetic acid by enzymes of acidogenic bacteria.

Methanogens are bacteria such asMethanococcusorMethanobacillusconvert organic acids such as acetic acid into methane.
