oxygen
Bacteria that must have oxygen to survive are called obligate aerobes. Some bacteria can live with or without oxygen and are called facultative anaerobes.Anaerobes = No oxygenAerobes = Oxygen
Aerobic bacteria require oxygen.
Bacteria do not breathe in the sense that we do, but many do require oxygen. These are called aerobic bacteria. Some bacteria will use oxygen if it is present, but can function without it. These are called facultative anaerobes. Still other bacteria will die if exposed to oxygen. These are called obligate anaerobes.
Aerobic bacteria must have oxygen to live.
Aerobic bacteria uses oxygen for cellular respiration and anaerobic bacteria doesn't require oxygen to survive. ˇ_ˇ 
Anaerobic bacteria don't need oxygen to grow.
Archaebacteria called extremeophiles have some species that live entirely anaerobically. Bacteria [and other organisms] that respire using O2 as the 'final' electron acceptor are termed to be Aerobic, while bacteria [and the odd organism] that has the biochemical capacity to Live without O2 are termed to be Anaerobic.
aerobic bacteria use oxygen based respiration, anaerobic bacteria use either nonoxygen based respiration (e.g. nitrogen, sulfur) or fermentation.
It depends--there are both aerobic (oxygen-dependent or oxygen-tolerating) and anaerobic (oxygen-intolerant) bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria often cannot live in the presence of oxygen, while increasing oxygen levels for aerobic bacteria can often stimulate population growth.
