Biogas is a mixture of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen (H2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) with methane as a major component (65%).  Methanogens produce biogas by anaerobic fermentation of biomass in presence of water which in turn serve as an eco-friendly and economic source of energy.  Penicillin is antibiotic used in different bacterial infections. The curd is a fermented dairy product used by a human as a nutrient source. Citric acid is used as food preservatives.
