obligate aerobes require oxygen by using cellular respiration or fermentation in order to survive. obligate anaerobes do not require it and will die if they are exposed to oxygen.

Bacteria that only grows with the absence of oxygen?
Bacteria that can ONLY grow in the absence of oxygen are called obligate anaerobes.
What is a scientific name for obligate aerobes?
If they are obligate aerobes that means they require 02 to survive.
Can obligate anaerobes grow on a slant that is incubated anaerobically?
Do obligate anaerobes grow on a slant if they are incubated anaerobically?
Is mycoplasma aerobes or anaerobes?
most of them are facultative anaerobes. oxygen is not pioson for them. M. pneumoniae is aerobe. there are also some strict anaerobes in bovine rumen.
What is Facultative?
synonym: optional Used typically when describing organisms and their energy requirements; facultative anaerobes and aerobes can survive with or without oxygen whereas obligate aerobes will die without oxygen.
What two enzymes are present in obligate aerobes but lacking in obligate anaerobes?
Catalase and superoxide dismutase.
What is the difference between obligate aerobes obligate anaerobes?
aerobes are those which require free molecular oxygen about 21% in air while facultative anaerobes can survive in both conditions presence and absence of oxygen
Bacteria that only grows with the absence of oxygen?
Bacteria that can ONLY grow in the absence of oxygen are called obligate anaerobes.
Is the Bacillus species aerobic or anaerobic?
Bacillus can be either obligate aerobes or facultative anaerobes.
What type of bacteria can live in the presence of oxygen?
only obligate aerobes and facultive anaerobes.
Do bacteria need oxygene?
It depends on the bacteria. Cyanobacteria are a good example of a bacteria that can. There are obligate anaerobes, obligate aerobes, and organisms that can live with or without it.
Bacillus?
Obligate aerobes + facultative anaerobes 2) Gram + rods 3) Bacillus anthracis - anthrax
What is the name given to organisms that require oxygen to survive?
obligate aerobes.
What kind of bacterium cannot tolerate oxygen?
The bacterium that cannot tolerate oxygen is Anaerobes, but there are different kinds and each has different tolerances when it comes to oxygen. Obligate Anaerobes can get killed by oxygen. Facultative anaerobes those can grow without oxygen. Aero-tolerant anaerobes they never use oxygen BUT they can tolerate it. Microaerophiles require i tiny bit of oxygen but anymore than the little bit they need and they cannot grow.
What is a scientific name for obligate aerobes?
If they are obligate aerobes that means they require 02 to survive.
Can obligate anaerobes grow on a slant that is incubated anaerobically?
Do obligate anaerobes grow on a slant if they are incubated anaerobically?
What are bacteria that cannot live without oxygen called?
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
