NEET Biology QUESTION #7261
Question 1
Which one of the following pairs is wrongly matched?
  • Coliforms — Vinegar✔️
  • Methanogens — Gobar gas
  • Yeast — Ethanol
  • <em>Streptomycetes</em> — Antibiotic
Correct Answer Explanation
The wrongly matched pair is Coliforms — Vinegar. Vinegar (acetic acid) is produced by Acetobacter (acetic acid bacteria), not coliforms. Coliforms (e.g., E. coli) indicate fecal contamination of water. Methanogens produce methane (biogas/gobar gas); Yeast ferments sugar to ethanol; Streptomyces produces many antibiotics (e.g., streptomycin).
