Question

Which of the following processes is not involved in the industrial utilisation of microbes?

(a) Laboratory scale process

(b) Demagnetisation process

(c) Manufacturing process

(d) Pilot plant scale process

I had been asked this question during a job interview.

This key question is from Microbes in Industrial Products-1 in portion Microbes in Human Welfare of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Demagnetisation process

The best I can explain: Industrial utilisation of bacteria and other microbes involves three processes- laboratory-scale process, pilot plant scale and manufacturing unit. The development from the laboratory scale to the manufacturing unit is called as scaling up.
