According to Wikipedia, yes: "L. plantarum and related lactobacilli are unusual in that they can respire oxygen but have no respiratory chain or cytochromes-the consumed oxygen ultimately ends up as hydrogen peroxide."

Is lactobacillus an anaerobic bacteria?

I am asking myself the same question, and found this report, which seems to indicate that lactobacillus prefers an anaerobic environment...:Abstract: The growth rate of Lactobacillus plantarum(...) decreased during aerobic incubation (relative to anaerobic incubation). (...) Increased O2 utilization was accompanied by a switch in metabolism which resulted in acetate rather than lactate accumulation in aerobic cultures."Comparison of aerobic and anaerobic growth of Lactobacillus plantarum in a glucose medium", http://www.springerlink.com/content/p18g513007110117/


What is the difference in lactobacillus acidofilus and lactobacillus gg?

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a common probiotic strain that helps maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria. Lactobacillus GG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) is a specific strain known for its ability to survive in the acidic environment of the stomach and adhere to the intestinal lining more effectively. While both are beneficial for gut health, Lactobacillus GG may have stronger adherence and colonization properties.


What are some examples of Aerotolerant bacteria?

Clostridium tetani is an example of an obligate anaerobe. It can survive as a spore in the presence of oxygen, however, vegetative cell growth can only happen in the absence of oxygen. This is why puncture wounds are more likely to result in tetanus (disease caused by C. tetani) than a scrape.A common facultative anaerobe is Staphylococcus aureus, which is part of the normal bacterial flora of human skin.


Does freezing kill lactobacillus bacteria?

Freezing does not kill Lactobacillus bacteria, but it can make them dormant. When thawed under proper conditions, many can become active again. However, some strains may experience a slight reduction in viability.

Which bacteria are used to process olives?

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are commonly used in olive processing to ferment and preserve the olives. Species such as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, and Lactobacillus pentosus are often used due to their ability to produce lactic acid, which helps in the fermentation process.
