The primitive prokaryotes responsible for the production of biogas from the dung of ruminant animals, include the

  1. methanogens
  2. eubacteria
  3. halophiles
  4. thermoacidophiles.

Answer

(1) methanogens

Solution

As per NCERT, methanogens (archaebacteria) are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes.

⇒ They are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals.

∴ Halophiles live in salty areas and thermoacidophiles in hot springs; eubacteria are true bacteria.
