What's my obligation?
An obligate aerobe is a microorganism that requires oxygen for its survival and growth. For example, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an obligate aerobe that thrives in the oxygen-rich environments of the human lungs. Understanding the characteristics of obligate aerobes is crucial in fields like microbiology and medicine for effective treatment strategies.
a witness in court is obligated to tell the truth.
Aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to survive. They use oxygen for their metabolic processes to generate energy for growth and survival. Without oxygen, these organisms cannot carry out their normal functions.
Obligate anaerobes this is an Organisms that must live in the absence of oxygen.
Obligate aerobes must always have access to oxygen to survive.

Obligate anearobes is the name of these organisms. Examples; Bacteroides, Clostridium and Bartonella
Aerobes that require oxygen to survive are known as obligate aerobes.
Obligate aerobes obtain energy using aerobic respiration exclusively -> None use fermentation
Obligate anaerobes do not need or use oxygen as a nutrient. In fact it is a toxic substance to them which either kills or inhibits their growth. Thioglycollate allows obligate anaerobes to grow because it consists of sodium thioglycollate, thioglycollic acid and L-crystine which reduce oxygen to water. This creates an anaerobic environment allowing obligate anaerobes to grow.
The noun forms of the verb to obligate are obligator, obligatee, obligation, and the gerund, obligating.
Catalase and superoxide dismutase are two enzymes that are present in obligate aerobes but lacking in obligate anaerobes. These enzymes help in breaking down toxic reactive oxygen species that are produced during aerobic respiration.
