Lactic Acid Bacteria can check the growth of disease causing:
1. | Bacillus clausii | 2. | Helicobacter pylori |
3. | Saccharomyces boulardii | 4. | Clostridium butyricum |
The primary objective of the secondary treatment of sewage water is:
1. | the removal of coarse solids and other large materials often found in raw wastewater. |
2. | the removal of settleable organic and inorganic solids by sedimentation, and the removal of materials that will float by skimming. |
3. | production of biogas that can be used as an efficient fuel, especially in rural households. |
4. | the removal of biodegradable dissolved and colloidal organic matter using aerobic biological treatment processes. |
Fleming first observed the antibiotic properties of the mould that makes penicillin. But the credit to develop it into a useful treatment goes to:
1. | Selman Waksman | 2. | Florey and Chain |
3. | Beadle and Tatum | 4. | Zinder and Lederberg |
A therapeutic product that is used to prevent the risk of coronary artery disease by its effect on one of the risk factors is obtained from the microbe:
1. | Trichoderma polysporum | 2. | Streptococcus pyogenes |
3. | Pseudomonas putida | 4. | Monascus purpureus |
Baculoviruses can play an important role in overall Integrated Pest Management in an ecologically sensitive area because:
1. | They are effective against a large number of insects |
2. | Their use can help in the conservation of beneficial insects |
3. | They do not have any adverse effects on human health |
4. | They are cost-effective and can be easily applied as sprays by the farmer |
Given below are the results of three water samples subjected to BOD test:
I: | Sample A can be from secondary effluent discharged from an STP. |
II: | Sample B can be from a river presumed to be mild to moderately polluted. |
III: | Sample C can be from untreated sewage water. |
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
Baculoviruses are excellent candidates for:
1. | Species-specific, narrow-spectrum insecticidal applications |
2. | Species-specific, broad-spectrum insecticidal applications |
3. | Biocontrol of fungal diseases |
4. | Biocontrol of aphids and mosquitoes |
In the anaerobic sludge digesters during sewage water treatment:
1. | The primary sludge is treated with aerobic microbes and activated sludge is created |
2. | The primary sludge is treated with anaerobic microbes and activated sludge is created |
3. | The activated sludge is digested by anaerobic microbes producing biogas during the process |
4. | The activated sludge is digested by aerobic microbes producing biogas during the process |
Consider the given two statements:
I: | BOD is an indirect measure of the organic matter present in the water. |
II: | The BOD test measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by microorganisms in a sample of water. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I. |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I. |
3. | Only II is correct. |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect. |
