Answerobligate aerobes require oxygen by using cellular respiration or fermentation in order to survive. obligate anaerobes do not require it and will die if they are exposed to oxygen.
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.

Bacteria that can ONLY grow in the absence of oxygen are called obligate anaerobes.
Cells obtain energy through different processes depending on whether they are aerobes (those that require oxygen to survive) or anaerobes (those that do not require oxygen).However, the metabolic pathway that results in the production of energy is a majority of aerobes is called Oxydative Phosphorylation
they eat it

aerobes are those which require free molecular oxygen about 21% in air while facultative anaerobes can survive in both conditions presence and absence of oxygen
Bacillus can be either obligate aerobes or facultative anaerobes.
Catalase and superoxide dismutase.

TSA plates do not allow for the growth of anaerobes, becasue the entire culture is exposed to oxygen. So the TSA plates require the gaspak to provide an anaerobic condition. FTM does allow for the growth of anaerobes and aerobes. Anaerobes will be found deep in the soln. away from the oxygen, and aerobes will be found at the top, with facultatives inbetween.
Obligate aerobes + facultative anaerobes 2) Gram + rods 3) Bacillus anthracis - anthrax
Aerobes utilize and thrive in oxygen, anaerobes are killed/ fail to thrive in oxygen.
