Answer:
Carbon monoxide is oxidized by bacteria from different physiological groupings, including both, aerobes and anaerobes. ... Some can use CO as sole carbon and energy source for growth (utilitarian CO-oxidizers) whereas the gas is only co-oxidized by others (non-utilitarian CO-oxidizers).

Answer:
How is carbon monoxide formed during combustion?
Fossil fuels contain carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). During complete combustion carbon and hydrogen combine with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). During incomplete combustion part of the carbon is not completely oxidized producing soot or carbon monoxide (CO).
