The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements provided is correct, we will analyze each option based on the information given in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option 1**: - The statement claims that cyanobacteria makes mycorrhiza which absorbs phosphate from the cell. - **Correction**: Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) do not form mycorrhiza. Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between fungi and the roots of higher plants, where fungi absorb nutrients (like phosphate) from the soil and provide them to the plant. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyze Option 2**: - The statement claims that agedobacteria is a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria. - **Correction**: Agedobacteria is not a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria; it is a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium. Thus, this statement is also **incorrect**. 3. **Analyze Option 3**: - The statement claims that pedifield (rice field) cyanobacteria leads to a decrease in soil microbes. - **Correction**: The presence of cyanobacteria (like azolla) in rice fields does not decrease soil microbes; instead, it contributes positively to nitrogen fixation and productivity. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Analyze Option 4**: - The statement claims that Methanobacterium feeds on cellulose in low-anaerobic conditions. - **Correction**: Methanobacterium is indeed a type of methanogen that thrives in anaerobic conditions and digests cellulose to produce methane (biogas). This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: - The only correct statement among the options provided is **Option 4** regarding Methanobacterium.
