Question

A group of college students working on a project on bio-gas have found some bacteria in the bio-gas plant. These bacteria can utilize methane as their source of energy and do not need oxygen for their survival. What kind of bacteria could they be?

A- Archaebacteria
B- Eubacteria
C- Probacteria

Answer 1

The answer is (a.) Archaebacteria

Archaebacteria or Archaea are prokaryotes. They have no cell nucleus. They don't even have membrane-bound organelles in the cells. These bacteria can utilize methane as their source of energy but oxygen is not vital for their survival.
