The correct Answer is:
To solve the given statements, we need to fill in the blanks with the correct terms based on our knowledge of microbiology and the role of microorganisms in human welfare. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Statement A**: - The statement reads: "Terramycin is an antibiotic isolated from ...............and interfere with the ...............of disease causing bacteria." - We know that Terramycin is an antibiotic that is derived from a specific type of bacteria. The correct term to fill in the first blank is "Streptomyces" (specifically, Streptomyces aureofaciens). - The second blank refers to the action of the antibiotic. Terramycin interferes with the "protein synthesis" of disease-causing bacteria. **Filled Statement A**: "Terramycin is an antibiotic isolated from **Streptomyces** and interferes with the **protein synthesis** of disease-causing bacteria." 2. **Analyzing Statement B**: - The statement reads: "Microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi, algae, etc) that can be cultured on a commercial scale in fermentor and used as a food source or as animal feed are called..................." - The correct term to fill in this blank is "single cell protein" (SCP). These microorganisms are cultivated for their protein content and can be used as food or animal feed. **Filled Statement B**: "Microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi, algae, etc) that can be cultured on a commercial scale in fermentor and used as a food source or as animal feed are called **single cell protein**." ### Final Answer: - A: "Terramycin is an antibiotic isolated from **Streptomyces** and interferes with the **protein synthesis** of disease-causing bacteria." - B: "Microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi, algae, etc) that can be cultured on a commercial scale in fermentor and used as a food source or as animal feed are called **single cell protein**."
