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.
Do aerobes die in the presence of oxygen?
No. Oxygen is required for respiration in aerobes.
What is a scientific name for obligate aerobes?
If they are obligate aerobes that means they require 02 to survive.
What is the difference between aerobes and facultative aerobes?
both live n the presence of oxygen but facultative require oxygen at low concentrating
Bacteria that live in places with a supply of oxygen are?
it is AEROBES
Why are strict aerobes oxidase positive?
Strict aerobes must be oxidase positive because oxidase is an enzyme. It is critical to cellular respiration, specifically the final reduction of oxygen in the electron transport chain.
Why are strict aerobic oxidase-positive?
Strict aerobes must be oxidase positive because oxidase is an enzyme. It is critical to cellular respiration, specifically the final reduction of oxygen in the electron transport chain.

What is the name given to organisms that require oxygen to survive?
obligate aerobes.
Explain the toxic effect of oxygen on strict anaerobes?
Strict anaerobic organisms die in the presence of oxygen because the presence of oxygen causes them to create superoxide. Superoxide is toxic and is dismantled in aerobes and facultative anaerobes by the presence of superoxide dismutase. However, strict anaerobes do not have this enzyme, leaving the cell with an accumulation of superoxide which will kill the organism.
Do aerobes die in the presence of oxygen?
No. Oxygen is required for respiration in aerobes.
Account for the inability of aerobes to grow in the absence of o2?
Aerobes cannot grow in the absence of O2 molecules. Aerobes need oxygen in order to survive and if they do not have it they cannot survive.
What is a scientific name for obligate aerobes?
If they are obligate aerobes that means they require 02 to survive.
What is the difference between aerobes and facultative aerobes?
both live n the presence of oxygen but facultative require oxygen at low concentrating
What do aerobes need?
all it needs is oxygen
Bacteria that live in places with a supply of oxygen are?
it is AEROBES
How do aerobes and anaerobes clean up wastewater?
they eat it
