Which of the following is correctly matched for the product produced by them?
Acetobacter aceti : Antibiotics
Methanobacterium : Lactic acid
Penicillium notatum : Acetic acid
Saccharomyces cerevisiae : Ethanol
As learnt in
Principles -
Biotechnology deals in two principles -
1- Maintenance of microbial contamination free (sterile) surrounding in chemical engineering (old biotechnology).
Ex. production of ethanol by fermentation
2 - Genetic Engineering - It is also known as Recombinant DNA Technology or RDI.
- wherein
Only desired organism grow under sterile condition to produce large amount of desired product.
It is the asexual method of gene transfer across taxonomy boundary.
Ethanol is produced by fermentation of carbohydrates by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Brewer's yeast)
