Q. Anaerobic breakdown of biomass produced biogas by methanogenic bacteria. It is a

Punjab PMETPunjab PMET 1999

Solution:

Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of organic matter. It is a three step process. In the first step, facultative anaerobic micro-organisms breakdown the polymers into soluble monomers through enzymatic hydrolysis. In the second step, the monomers become the substrate for micro-organisms. There are converted into organic acids. In the final step, methanogenic bacteria generate methane.
