D VINOD · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Biogas Production by Bacteria
	**Related Topics**:  Anaerobic Digestion, Microbial Ecology, Types of Bacteria
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of bacteria and biogas production
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	* Question asks for bacteria responsible for biogas production from dung.
	* Options are different types of bacteria.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the specific type of bacteria known for producing methane in anaerobic environments, such as those found in dung.
		Reasoning: Biogas is primarily methane, and methanogens are known for producing methane.
		Formula/Rule: N/A
	2. Identify the correct option among the given choices.
		Working: Methanogens are the correct choice.
		Key Point: Understanding the role of different bacteria types in specific processes is crucial.
	3. Select the correct answer.
		Result: Methanogen
		Verification: Methanogens are well-established as the primary methane producers in biogas.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Thermoacidophiles are known for surviving in extreme temperatures and acidic environments, not biogas production.
[B] :x: Halophiles thrive in high-salt environments, not biogas production.
[C] ✓: Methanogens are archaea that produce methane, a key component of biogas, under anaerobic conditions.
[D] :x: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that produce oxygen, not methane.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Confusing Bacteria Types]: Mistaking bacteria based on their names rather than their function.
			[How to avoid]: Learning to associate specific types of bacteria with their particular roles in ecological systems.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Memory aid]: Remember that 'methano-' refers to methane, and '-gen' means producer. Thus, methanogens produce methane.
