No, anaerobes do not require oxygen to survive, for they do not carry out cellular respiration with oxygen as the final electron acceptor. Rather, they typically carry out either fermentation or anaerobic respiration, which requires no oxygen, but still provides a small amount of energy.

What are organisms that don't need oxygen to survive?

Anaerobic organisms do not need oxygen to survive. Some are even poisoned by oxygen. There are three types of anaerobes; obligate, faculatative, and aerotolerantanaerobes. Obligate anaerobes cannot survive in the presence of oxygen, and include the bacteria that cause tetanus and botulism, Clostridium tetani and Clostridium botulinum. Facultative anaerobes do not require oxygen, but will use it if it is present, and include yeast and the bacterial species Escherichia coli. Aerotolerant anaerobes do not use oxygen but can survive in its presence, and include the bacterium Lactobacillus, which lives in the human gut and is used to produce yogurt.


What bacteria don't need oxygen to grow?

Anaerobic bacteria do not require oxygen to grow. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Bacteroides species. These bacteria can survive and grow in environments with little to no oxygen.


Bacteria that can survive without oxygen are?

Anaerobic bacteria are able to survive and grow in environments without oxygen. These bacteria use alternative electron acceptors, such as nitrate or sulfate, for energy production in the absence of oxygen. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium species and Methanogens.

Do snails need oxygen to survive?

Every living creature needs oxygen to survive. Just as every living creature needs water to survive. For example, such as spiders. Yup, spiders do to need oxygen AND water to survive, and of course food. So the answer to your question would be yes, snails do need oxygen to survive.


Do octopuses need oxygen to survive?

Yes, octopuses need oxygen to survive as they breathe through gills, extracting oxygen from water to support their respiration.


What are strict aerobes?

Strict aerobes are organisms that require oxygen for energy production through aerobic respiration. They cannot survive in environments with low oxygen levels or without oxygen. These organisms rely on oxygen as the final electron acceptor in their metabolic pathways.


Does the bacteria tetanus need a host to survive?

No. The bacterium Clostridium tetani forms an endospore and can survive for long periods of time. When the endospore is introduced into a favorable environment it begins to metabolize.


What will cheetah need to do in the future to survive?

What bacteria can survive without the presence of oxygen?

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.
