Microorganisms can be used by humans to produce foods and other useful substances
Biofuels : are produced from natural products, often plant biomass containing carbohydrate
As biofuels are produced from plants, they are renewable and theoretically carbon neutral
some biofuels are produced by using microorganisms to anaerobically ferment carbohydrate in the plant material ─ as is the case with bioethanol and biogas production (each process uses different microorganisms)
yeast is a single─celled fungus that uses sugar as its food source
when it respires, ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced (and energy is released)
lactic acid and oxygen react in the liver
antibiotics do not help with viral infections
