These are microrganisms that need some or little oxygen to grow, however, if they receive oxygen concentrations reach those found in air (20%), they are unable to grow. Hence they need the right amount of oxygen. The source http://mansfield.osu.edu/~sabedon/biol2020.htm

When testing microaerophiles prefer to use a semisolid nitrate medium that contains small amount of agar Why?
microaerophiles grow below the medium surface of culture, in presence of oxygen required (equal or matched ) by them .
Is there bacteria on bacteria?
There are no bacteria on other bacteria. Some bacteria do attack other bacteria by piercing their cell wall and injecting proteins.Viruses can attack bacteria. They are called bacteriophages.
What are some hypothesis that deal with bacteria?
How does bacteria form? How can bacteria affect you? Can bacteria hurt a person? Is bacteria a good thing or a bad thing?
What do bacteria produce?
"Bacteria producing bacteria" - this is not a specific type of bacteria, as you might say a dog is a specific type of animal. All bacteria reproduce, and form new bacteria through a process usually called binary fission. In this way, each bacteria produces more new bacteria. It is not a trait of one species of bacteria.
What does bacteria have in common with paramecium?
No,Parameacium is not a bacteria but it is a single celled organism which on bacteria
Account for the subsurface growth of microaerophiles in a shake-tube culture?
Because microaerophiles require Oxygen, but at a low concentration.

Is the pour plate method use full for growing microaerophiles?
Microaerophiles are grown best in an low oxygen environment. If a candle is placed in a jar with the microbe in a broth on an agar, it will remove the oxygen when a lid is placed on the jar. What will grow will be that microbe.
What is microaerophile?
Microaerophiles are microorganisms which are unable to grow when oxygen concentrations reach those found in air (20%) but nevertheless whose growth requires the presence of some oxygen (e.g., 2 to 10%). "Microaerophiles appear to grow best in the presence of a small amount of free oxygen. They grow below the surface of the medium in a culture tube at the level where oxygen availability matches their needs
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.
Is there bacteria on bacteria?
There are no bacteria on other bacteria. Some bacteria do attack other bacteria by piercing their cell wall and injecting proteins.Viruses can attack bacteria. They are called bacteriophages.
What is a bacteria that infects bacteria called?
Bacteria do not infect other bacteria, but they can attack them.
Is bacteria in an animal cell?
bacteria is everywhere. There is good bacteria and bad bacteria but it is everywhere.
Is food poisoning a bacteria or virus?
its a bacteria cause i am studing bacteria in universty
Anthrax is a bacteria or virus?

What is responsible for the decay of organisms?

Is diphtheria a virus or a bacteria?
