उत्तर
The vitamin whose content increases following the conversion of milk into curd by lactic acid bacteria is vitamin B12.
Explanation:
When milk is converted into curd by the action of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus species), these bacteria synthesise vitamin B₁₂ during fermentation. As a result, the vitamin B12 content increases, making curd nutritionally richer than milk.

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. |
