Bacteria that must have oxygen to survive are called obligate aerobes. Some bacteria can live with or without oxygen and are called facultative anaerobes.
- Anaerobes = No oxygen
- Aerobes = Oxygen

∙ 15y agoFacultative anaerobes are bacteria that can live with or without oxygen. Bacteria that die when exposed to oxygen are called obligate anaerobes.

What bacteria can survive without the presence of oxygen?
Archaebacteria called extremeophiles have some species that live entirely anaerobically. Bacteria [and other organisms] that respire using O2 as the 'final' electron acceptor are termed to be Aerobic, while bacteria [and the odd organism] that has the biochemical capacity to Live without O2 are termed to be Anaerobic.
Bacteria that can survive without oxygen are?
If they CAN survive without oxygen, they are called facultative anaerobes. In other words, these can survive with or without oxygen.If they CAN ONLY survive if there is no oxygen, they are callled obligate anaerobes. In other words, these can only survive if there is no oxygen.
What can live without oxygen?
Anaerobic bacteria can live without oxygen. In fact, oxygen is toxic to many of them.
What are anaerobic infections?
An anaerobic infection is an infection caused by bacteria (called anaerobes) which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen.
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.
What bacteria that cannot live without oxygen called?
Obligate aerobes

What are bacteria that can't live without oxygen called?
Obligate aerobes.
Do Bacteria breath oxygen?
Bacteria do not breathe in the sense that we do, but many do require oxygen. These are called aerobic bacteria. Some bacteria will use oxygen if it is present, but can function without it. These are called facultative anaerobes. Still other bacteria will die if exposed to oxygen. These are called obligate anaerobes.
What kind of bacteria cannot tolerate oxygen?
anaerobic bacteria
What kingdom is an organism that can survive without oxygen in?
Some bacteria and protists called anaerobes can live without oxygen. Three kingdoms have organisms that have anaerobes- kingdom bacteria, kingdom archaea, and kingdom protista
Bacteria that can survive without oxygen are?
If they CAN survive without oxygen, they are called facultative anaerobes. In other words, these can survive with or without oxygen.If they CAN ONLY survive if there is no oxygen, they are callled obligate anaerobes. In other words, these can only survive if there is no oxygen.
What can live without oxygen?
Anaerobic bacteria can live without oxygen. In fact, oxygen is toxic to many of them.
Bacteria that can live with or without oxygen?
Bacteria lacking a nucleus
What are anaerobic infections?
An anaerobic infection is an infection caused by bacteria (called anaerobes) which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen.
Bacteria that can live with or without oxygen are known as?
Facultative anaerobic bacteria.
The bacteria that cause botulism and tetanus are anaerobes and cannot live in the presence of alcohol?
You are a bit confused. Alcohol is generally toxic to bacteria, whether aerobic or anaerobic, but anaerobic bacteria cannot live in the presence of oxygen, that's why they are called anaerobic.
