It is aerobic.
Obligate aerobes obtain energy using aerobic respiration exclusively -> None use fermentation
Gram-positive bacterium, live on dead and decaying matter
No Micrococcus luteus is aerobic organism, Staphylococcus aureus is often mistaken for Micrococcus luteus but its main difference is that it is a Facultative anaerobe
Micrococcus luteus is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can perform respiration in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) but can also switch to fermentation in the absence of oxygen. It typically utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor in its electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.
Micrococcus luteus is primarily known for its ability to metabolize a limited range of carbohydrates. It can ferment certain sugars, including glucose and maltose, but is not considered a strong fermenter overall. Its fermentation capabilities are relatively weak compared to other bacteria, and it primarily relies on aerobic respiration for energy.
are Gram-positive organisms that produce lactic acid as an end product of fermentation -> Includes Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc 2) Most organisms of this group can grow in aerobic environments but are obligate fermenters
Micrococcus luteus (M. luteus), is a Gram-positive bacteria that is most commonly found in mucous membranes such as the nasal cavities, the upper respiratory tract, and the lining of the mouth.Although once regarded as non-pathogenic, it is now considered an opportunistic pathogen which means that if it has a chance to cause an infection, it will.M. luteus of historical interest for the part it played in Fleming’s discovery of lysozyme. This bacterium, which is often used for educational studies, produces bright yellow colonies on nutrient agar.
