Explanation:
State two economically important uses of: (a) Heterotrophic bacteria (b) Archaebacteria. (1) Many bacteria like Lactobacillus helps in the production of curd from milk. (2) They act as decomposers and help in the formation of humus e.g. Pseudomonas.
First of all let us know what is hetero- bacteria and Archaebacteria,
Heterobacteria:- these are the bacteria that feeds upon other sources of environment and doesn't prepare food on their own.
Archaebacteria:- these kind of bacteria have different cell wall components and are evolved separately from the bacteria.
Two economically important uses are :-
(a) Heterobacteria :
=> These include lactobacilus that converts milk into curd.
=> Many antibiotics are produced from these species of bacteria.
(b) Archaebacteria :
=> It includes Methanogens that helps in the production of Methane gas from the dung of ruminants.
=> Methanogens also helps in formation of biogas and sewage treatments plants.
