    Answer: No there is no evolution of carbon dioxide

    Explanation:

    It is a saccharolytic organism means that it feeds on the carbohydrate source in order to derive energy.

    The organism feeds on the carbohydrates anaerobically and hence, there is no evolution of carbon dioxide from the body.

    As it is a saccharolytic organism that uses carbohydrates for the energy so there is no evolution of carbon dioxide from the body.

    Answer;

    It is a saccharolytic organism that can utilize carbohydrates anaerobically, therefore there is no evolution of co2.

    Explanation;

    A saccharolytic bacterium is a microbe having the ability to generate energy by metabolizing carbohydrates.

    They include both heterotrophic and autotrophic organisms and transform sugars under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

    The energy-generating metabolic processes for obligate anaerobes are not coupled with the consumption of oxygen, oxygen kills the organisms.
