In which of the following industries microbial enzymes are not used? a. Glass industry b. Cheese industry c. Tanning industry d. Paper industry
Answers
Microbial enzymes such as proteases, carbohydrases are actually the micro organisms which are used as bio catalysts varying in their mechanisms and chemical properties by the industries in oxidation reduction and hydrolysis reactions. For example they are being used in agricultural, food processing, chemical, textile, analytical, pharmaceutical and wood industries and in biodegradation and bioremediation.
But they are not used in Paper industry because that industry does not involve any such process.
The industry in which microbial enzymes are not used for its manufacturing is:
d. Paper industry
For any chemical process in any industry microbes or microorganisms are essential to carry out the chemical reaction.
All the industries except paper industries, namely glass industry, cheese industry, tanning industry involve chemical reactions aided by microbes.
Only paper industry does not, because manufacturing of paper is not a chemical process.
