उत्तर
There are numerous examples indicating that microorganisms emit gases during their metabolism. Examples are as follows:
- Bacteria ferment the dough required to make dosa and idlis. The puffy appearance of dough is related to the generation of CO2 during the fermentation process.
- Swiss cheese is distinguished by its characteristic flavour and large holes. The large holes are caused by the amount of CO2 produced by the bacterium Propionibacterium shermanii.

The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis (Bti) is commercially prepared in various formulations such as liquid, water dispersible granules, powders, and pellets. It is used as a larvicide all over the world due to its ability to produce a toxic protein that primarily targets the larvae of mosquitoes. In Sweden, Bti has been applied on a large scale in the form of commercially available granular formulation Vecto Bac G (Valent BioScience, USA). The applications have taken place in the lower Dalalven River Area to control mass outbreaks of the floodplain mosquito Aedes sticticus. |
