Answer: Methanol.

  • A Carbon dioxide and sunlight
  • B Crude petroleum
  • C Methanol
  • D Agricultural waste straw

Correct answer: C. Methanol

Explanation: Methylophilus methylotrophus is a bacterium that can grow rapidly on methanol as a carbon source, making it efficient for SCP production.

Composite Fish Culture: Niches in One PondCatla (surface feeder)Rohu (middle feeder)Mrigal/Common carp (bottom feeder)

Different fish species occupy different feeding depths in the same pond without competing for food: Catla feeds near the surface, Rohu in the middle zone, and Mrigal or common carp at the bottom - letting a single pond support far more total fish than one species alone.
