Anaerobic bacteria do not require oxygen to live. They are able to generate energy from sources other than oxygen, such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Some examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Bacteroides.

What are bacteria that cannot live without oxygen called?

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 oxygenAerobes = Oxygen


What kind of bacterium reqires oxygen?

Obligate aerobes require oxygen to survive. These bacteria rely on oxygen for their energy production and metabolism. Without oxygen, they are unable to grow.


What are the three different ways to classify bacteria?

There shape, if they need oxygen, and where they live.


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.


Do nitrogen need bacteria why or why not?

I believe not because they are living things and need oxygen instead or they only need something to live in to reproduce and live.


What are bacteria that need oxygen to survive called?

Bacteria that need oxygen to survive are called aerobic bacteria.


What sort of environment can bacteria live in?

It depends on the bacteria. Some need a lot of oxygen, some only a little and in some oxygen will kill them. While most bacteria live in a narrow range of pH, some will be able to live in higher or lower ranges.


Bacteria that thrive in devoid of air?

Most bacteria needs air for the process of breaking down food to obtain energy (respiration). But to survive, no.


What bacteria don't need oxygen to grow?

Anaerobic bacteria do not require oxygen to grow. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Bacteroides species. These bacteria can survive and grow in environments with little to no oxygen.


Is the sponge Gelliodes fibrosa aerobic or anaerobic?

All sponges are aerobic, they need oxygen to live. Some do however, live in low oxygen environments and they can 'house' anaerobic bacteria.


. How do aerobic bacteria differ from anaerobic bacteria?

aerobic bacteria use oxygen based respiration, anaerobic bacteria use either nonoxygen based respiration (e.g. nitrogen, sulfur) or fermentation.


Does glycolysis happen with or without oxygen?

Many types of bacteria can live in Anaerobic conditions, I.e they don't need oxygen to live, as they create energy using anaerobic respiration.
