What type of respiration that bacterium Clostridium tetani would use?

It undergoes anaerobic respiration, so it does not use oxygen in respiration and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen when it is in its vegetative form.

What is an example of an eubacteria?
Eubacteria is a domain, and has allot of examples! But, here are my favorite: Clostridium tetani, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus antracis, Bacillus pneumoniae, Esherischia coli......
What is an example of an anaerobic?
Examples of anaerobic bacteria would be Clostridium tetani, Clostridium botulinum. Both of these bacteria are pathogens or disease causing organisms: tetani causes tetanus or lockjaw, botulinum causes botulism or food poisoning. Note that both of these organisms flourish in conditions of low oxygen. Aerobic bacteria would include Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Vibrio comma.
What does the organism clostridium tetani do to the human body?
This a great website with information about Clostridium Tetani - http://www.lcusd.net/lchs/mewoldsen/tetanus.htm Some of the main points include: They can multiply and produce a toxin that effects the nerves and controls the activity of muscles. Lockjaw occurs and is followed by general rigidity of the body, then muscle spasms occur throughout the body. Finally, death is caused by interference with muscles required for breathing. A much safer route would be to just get vaccinated. Alot of states offer free shots, so call around and find out where they are near you.
Why do heroin addicts have high incidence of Clostridium tetani infection?
Clostridium tetani is one of the most poisonous biological substances known. It produces neurotoxins that enter nerve cells and block neurotransmitters. A very tiny amount of these substances can cause severe muscle disorders and respiratory complications that result in death. We call this disease tetanus.People can become infected with Clostridium tetanithrough a puncture wound or a dirty needle and it is placed just where this anaerobic bacteria loves to be. They are deposited deep into the skin and far from oxygen that would kill it.
Tetany can be caused by?
Clostridium tetani. This is a bacterium which commonly lives in the soil. It can only grow and produce toxins when little oxygen is around, so just playing around in the dirt would not get you infected. Typically, tetanus occurs when a deep stabwound is made with a dirty object, say a rusty nail, on which the Clostridium bacteria are present. On superficial wounds, there would be too much oxygen and the bacteria wouldn't grow, in a deep wound that is more or less shut off from the outside air, oxygen is quickly consumed by other bacteria, allowing the Clostridia to reproduce and produce toxins. These are responsible for the cramps typical for tetanus.

What is the gram stain of botulism?
Botulism is caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinumand all Clostridia species are Gram positive, so the organisms causing botulism would give a Gram positive result :)
A bacterium of a genus which causes food poisoning?
Clostridium botulinum is quite serious. One case is considered an outbreak.Although most forms of foodborne illness would be serious to anyone affected.
Is bacterium plural?
bacteria is, unless you were to use the word "The" in front (the bacteria are) Answer The bacterium is ...., the bacteria are..... Bacteria is the plural form, bacterium is the singluar.
What are strict aerobes?
Is an organism that does not need oxygen to survive and grow - it would possibly die with the introduction of oxygen for example: Clostridium Perfringens. Alex
Would you expect Clostridium to produce catalase?
No. Clostridium bacteria will display a negative result in a catalase test indicating that bacteria do not produce catalase, therefore preventing oxygen accumulation.
Are gills respiration or circulation?
Gills would be respiration
