Microbes in Human Welfare

Microbes in Human Welfare

1. Intro: The branch of Biology that deals with the study of MICROBES is called MICROBIOLOGY

2. 5.1 Microbes in Household production

   • a) Microbes in food preparation :
     • Dhokla=gram flour + butter milk, Lactobacilli brings fermentation
   • b) SCP(single cell protein) :- denotes dead n dried cells of microbes like bacteria, algae, molds n yeasts.
   • b) Microbes as source of food
   • b) Microbes as source of food

3. 5.2 Microbes in Industrial production :

   • a) Production of Alcoholic beverages :
     • i) WINE=strains of yeast + sacchromyces cerevisiae
     • ii) BEER=made from Barley+ sacchromyces cerevisiae(for fermentation) steps:- Malting, Mashing & fermentation
     • iii) WHISKY =fermenting mix. of grains of wheat, corn n barley.
   • b) Organic Acid fermentation:
     • Organic acid=Microbes used i) Citric acid=Aspergillus niger ii) Gluconic acid=Aspergillus niger iii) Fumaric acid=Rhizopus arrhizus iv) Acetic acid =Acetobacter aceti
   • c) Vitamin production :- Name of Vit. :Microbial source i) Vit. B2 :Neurospora gossypii ii) Vit. B12 :Pseudomonas denitrificans iii) Vit. C: Aspergillus niger
   • c) Vitamin production :- Name of Vit. :Microbial source i) Vit. B2 :Neurospora gossypii ii) Vit. B12 :Pseudomonas denitrificans iii) Vit. C: Aspergillus niger
   • c) Vitamin production :- Name of Vit. :Microbial source i) Vit. B2 :Neurospora gossypii ii) Vit. B12 :Pseudomonas denitrificans iii) Vit. C: Aspergillus niger
   • c) Vitamin production :- Name of Vit. :Microbial source i) Vit. B2 :Neurospora gossypii ii) Vit. B12 :Pseudomonas denitrificans iii) Vit. C: Aspergillus niger
   • c) Vitamin production :- Name of Vit. :Microbial source i) Vit. B2 :Neurospora gossypii ii) Vit. B12 :Pseudomonas denitrificans iii) Vit. C: Aspergillus niger
