What bacterium doesn't need oxygen?
Microbes or bacteria that grow in an anaerobic environment don't need oxygen. They cannot generate energy through aerobic respiration and must employ fermentation or anaerobic respiration for this purpose. They can be: FACULTATIVE ANAEROBES: do not require oxygen for growth, but grow better in its presence. AEROTOLERANT ANAEROBES: such as Enterococcus faecallis, simply ignore oxygen and grow equally well whether it is present or not. STRICT/OBLIGATE ANAEROBES: do not tolerate oxygen at all and die in its presence, e.g., Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium pasteurianum, Methanococcus, Neocallimastix, etc.
How do bacteria differ from one another?
Bacteria are differnet in many unique ways such as their shape. There are rod, sphere, and spiral shaped bacteria. There are also archaebacteria and eubacteria. Archaebacteria need no oxygen while others do. They also grow at different rates, their environment is different, etc. Pretty cool, isn't it??

What are anaerobic infections?
An anaerobic infection is an infection caused by bacteria (called anaerobes) which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen.
Which environment has the most total bacteria either petri dish or liquid agar?
Actually the liquid agar medium is used in the petridishes to grow the colonies of bacteria. The nutritional environment available to the bacteria results in to faster growth of their colonies and also they can be used for the experiments more rapidly
Does Bacteria grow on fat?
No, bacteria do not grow on fat
Why do bacteria reproduce quicker in an aerobic environment?
Not all bacteria do. Some can not grow in the presence of oxygen. Those that do (obligate aerobes and facultative anaerobes) grow quicker in oxygen since it facilitiates their energy cycle and ideal environment.
What bacteria don't need oxygen to grow?
Anaerobic bacteria don't need oxygen to grow.
Can bacteria suffocate?
Obligate aerobes require oxygen to make energy , grow and multiply . If the environment is lacking in oxygen, they will die. This is not exactly suffocation. See link below:
What condition helps aerobic bacteria to grow and thrive?
The condition that helps aerobic bacteria to grow and thrive is oxygen. In stark contract an anaerobic organism does not require oxygen to grow and thrive.
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria-?
Aerobic bacteria uses oxygen for cellular respiration and anaerobic bacteria doesn't require oxygen to survive. ˇ_ˇ 
Which would breed the most bacteria?
The amount of bacteria that could breed in a given time would depend on several factors. Bacteria require a source of nutrients, a warm environment, an energy source such as oxygen, and pH to grow and reproduce quickly.
Which bacteria grow in oxygen rich environments?
Obligate Aerobes

What factors help aerobic bacteria grow and thrive?
The factor is Oxygen.
What are ideal conditions for salmonella bacteria to grow?
Bacteria and Salmonella grow in warm conditions. Too hot or cold will kill them and so a warm, wet environment is perfect for them to grow.
Why won't a urine culture grow?
may be that antibiotics has killed the bacteria or the environment is not suited to grow a culture
What can help bacteria grow?
Bacteric grow faster in places where there is enough moisture, food and oxygen...our mouth!
