Is Bacillus Subtilis an aerobe or anaerobe?
yes it si a fucaltative anaerobe..check microbiology textbook as a reference
Is chickenpox virus an aerobe or anaerobe?
It is neither, since it is not living.
What is the difference between an aerobe and an anaerobe?
Aerobes utilize and thrive in oxygen, anaerobes are killed/ fail to thrive in oxygen.
Is E. coli anaerobe or aerobe?
Both, it is a faccultative anaerobe meaning that it normally respires aerobically however in oxygen free conditions it switches to anaerobic respiration. Hope this is useful. Chris Spencer
Is micrococcus luteus a facultative anaerobe?
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
Is Serratia marcescens an obligate aerobe or a facultative anaerobe?
Members of the genus Serratia are facultative anaerobes. Answer from a professor of microbiology.
Which type of organism aerobe anaerobe microaerophile facultative anaerobe would most likely be affected negatively by the use of old media?
I would think an aerobic organism would do the worst in an oxygen poor media, which would be one of the results of having an older media sitting around.
What is the different between obligate anaerobe and facultative anaerobe?
Facultative anaerobes does not need o2 to grow but can also grow with o2. Obligate anaerobe cannot grow at all in the presence of o2.
What scrabble words end with the letters b and e?
There are 163 in the Scrabble dictionary. Here are the first ten: abbe acrophobe adobe aerobe aerophobe agoraphobe ailourophobe ailurophobe albe anaerobe
The advantages and disadvantages of a broth tube culture compared to a culture on a Petri plate?
If you grow your bacteria in a broth tube you can view the oxygen requirements of the bacteria (close to the bottom, anaerobe: close to the top, aerobe)
Can a strict aerobe be distinguished from an anaerobe in thioglycollate broth?
Yes. Thioglycollate is a reducing medium that can establish a gradiation in oxygen content. Oxygen is highest at the top of the tube and absent in the deeper regions.Source: "Foundations in Microbiology" by Kathleen Park Talaro.
Did growth happen at a different level in agar deep?
The agar deep stab is an experiment to determine the affect that oxygen has on a culture. If growth is found only at the top, this indicates an obligate aerobe. If growth is found at the bottom only, then it would be a obligate anaerobe. If growth is found all throughout the stab, this would indicate a facultative anaerobe. Obligate aerobes require oxygen to survive. Obligate anaerobes cannot survive with oxygen present. Facultative anaerobes can survive in both cases but usually prefer aerobic conditions.
