Microaerophiles are microorganisms which are unable to grow when oxygen concentrations reach those found in air (20%) but nevertheless whose growth requires the presence of some oxygen (e.g., 2 to 10%). "Microaerophiles appear to grow best in the presence of a small amount of free oxygen. They grow below the surface of the medium in a culture tube at the level where oxygen availability matches their needs
