Solution

The correct option is C Acetobacter and Gluconobacter
As a result of fermentation of sugar by yeast, ethanol is produced. In order to obtain vinegar and other by-products, it requires further microbial degradation which is carried out by the bacteria Acetobacter and Gluconobacter.

Q. Read the passage and answer the following questions.
A bacterial strain used in a commercial fermenter converts substance A to substance B using enzyme Y. The same strain also contains enzyme Z which converts substance B to substance A. For each molecule of substance A, one molecule of substance B is produced and vice versa. The relative activities of enzymes Y and Z are given in the graph below. To maximise the production of substance B, at which temperature should the bacterial strain be fermented?

Q. The growth of ampicillin resistant bacterial population (strain 1) infected by a virus declines as the virus enters lytic cycle. Then the virus undergoes lysogenic cycle and further remove themselves from bacterial genome during heat shock treatment to proteins. All the bacteria die after some time and only free virus now can grow. A second bacterial ampicillin sensitive population (strain 2) is the infected by this virus. Similarly the bacterial population decreases and ampicillin population rebounds.

Which of the following phenomenon is responsible for the development of ampicillin resistance by bacterial strain 2?
