Bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenza are responsible for the disease pneumonia in humans which infect alveoli (air-filled sacs) of the lungs. As a result of infection, the alveoli get filled with fluid leading to a severe problem in respiration. A healthy person acquires the infection by inhaling the droplets/aerosols released by an infected person or even by sharing glasses and utensils with an infected person.

soya meal
ground gram
molasses
molasses
C.
molasses
Molasses is viscous by - the products of the processing of sugarcane, grapes or sugar beets in sugar. It is the most common substrate used in distilleries for the production of ethanol. It can be used as the base material for fermentation into rum. In Australia, molasses is ferme produce ethanol for use as an alternative fuel in motor vehicles.
