Most bacteria needs air for the process of breaking down food to obtain energy (respiration). But to survive, no.

Under what conditions do bacteria thrive and reproduce frequently by Binary fission?
Bacteria thrive and reproduce by binary fission when: 1- there is enough water 2- there is enough space for the population to grow 3- when their wastes have not accumulated 4- when their is enough oxygen in the air.
Under what conditions do bacteria thrive and reproduce?
Bacteria require adequate nutrients and conditions to thrive and reproduce. These vary depending on the type of bacteria. For example, there are both autotrophic bacteria, that require CO2 as their carbon source, and heterotrophic bacteria, that require one or more organic molecules for their carbon source. Because of this they usually live off of autotrophs. There are also bacteria that only thrive and reproduce in extreme conditions. These extremophiles may reside in high or low pH environments, very high heat (hot springs) or low temperatures (glaciers), very salty environments and other extremes.
What are the four basic elements for bacteria to grow?
The four basic elements for bacteria to grow are warmth, food, moisture and time. If one or more of these elements are removed, conditions will not be satisfactory for bacteria to thrive.
What do bacteria need to thrive?
PH, temperature, food, moisture, and more PH, temperature, food, moisture, and more
Do bacteria multiply in air?
yup. bacteria is a living thing, so it needs air, obviously.
Bacteria that thrive only in an envionment devoided of air are called?
anaerobic

What condition helps aerobic bacteria to grow and thrive?
The condition that helps aerobic bacteria to grow and thrive is oxygen. In stark contract an anaerobic organism does not require oxygen to grow and thrive.
What conditions in a cleanroom environment do bacteria thrive on?
you!!!!!!!
What does it mean for a bacteria to germinate?
To thrive and multiply... by dividing!
Why bacteria and blue green algae are exception of cell theory?
The bacteria and blue green algae are exception of the cell theory because they are devoid of the true nucleus or well organized nucleus.
What temperature does bacteria thrive in food tech?
Any temperature less than around 60 °C for most bacteria. However, there are bacteria in food that can survive past 100 °C. Freezing does not significantly kill bacteria, but puts it into a dormant stage, where they can no longer thrive and reproduce.
What factors help aerobic bacteria grow and thrive?
The factor is Oxygen.
Under what conditions will bacteria thrive?
Bacteria typically thrive in warm, humid, and dark environments. This is a reason why the human body is an ideal breeding-ground for bacteria; the interior is the ideal temperature for bacteria, well-supplied with adequate moisture and nutrition, and usually dark. Additionally, some bacteria, extremophiles, are able to survive, even thrive, in extremely acidic, alkaline, or salty environments, or incredibly hot or cold environments, or incredibly wet or dry environments.
Why do you need to keep the toilets clean?
Toilets (usually) harbour excrement, which is extremely nutritious for bacteria and the like, so they thrive. The cleaner you keep the toilet, the less bacteria it will harbour. If you do not, they will thrive and could lead to external contamination.
Does some bacteria arise spontaneously?
Some bacteria can arise spontaneously depending on the environment. Bacteria lives everywhere, but it can really thrive in warm, moist environments.
