Hints & Solutions
(a) Methanobacillus (methanogen) occurs in marshes and also in dung. It produces $CH_4$ gas under anaerobic condition and is utilized in gobar gas plant. Methanogenesis from the biomass in the anoxic biogas reactors is catalyzed by syntrophic cooperation between anaerobic bacteria, syntrophic acetogenic bacteria and methanogenic archaea.
