Where would you expect to see growth of a strict aerobe anaerobe microphile and facultative anaerobe in the fluid thioglycollate medium?
The sodium thioglycollate in the broth creates a redox potential in the tube, with higher levels of oxygen at the top of the tube, and a complete absence of oxygen at the bottom of the tube.
Fluid thioglycollate broth also typically contains a redox potential indicator such resazurin, which produces a pink color in an oxidized environment. As with the BHI media, organisms will only be able to grow where their oxygen requirements are met, and will localize to the area(s) of their oxygen requirements in the fluid thioglycollate broth.
Obligate aerobes will grown on or very close to the top (high oxygen). Obligate anaerobes will only grow on the bottom (no oxygen). Facultative anaerobes will grow throughout but more on top. Microaerophiles will be found in a band where only a small amount of oxygen is found. They would be close to but not on the top.
What else can I help you with?
What are the differences between a facultative anaerobe and a facultative aerobe in terms of their oxygen requirements for metabolism?
A facultative anaerobe can switch between using oxygen and not using oxygen for metabolism, while a facultative aerobe can only use oxygen for metabolism.
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.
How microbes are classified based on their oxygen preferences?
On the basis of oxygen requirement microorganisms are classified asAerobes: organisms that use molecular oxygen as electron acceptor.Anaerobes: organisms that use some molecule other than molecular oxygen as electron acceptor.Facultative organisms : organisms that can use either molecular oxygen or some other chemical compound as electron acceptor.
What is an aerobe?
An aerobe is a organism (bacteria generally) that needs oxygen in its environment to conduct its metabolic processes. An anaerobe is a bacteria that exists in non-oxygenated environments using other reactants to conduct its metabolic processes Aerobes and anaerobes cannot live in each others environment. However (there's always a however), facultative organisms like yeast can live in either circumstance - yeast produces CO2 in aerobic environments and alcohol in anaerobic environments
Bacterium that needs oxygen is called what?
An obligate aerobe bacterium requires oxygen for its metabolism and survival.
What are the differences between a facultative anaerobe and a facultative aerobe in terms of their oxygen requirements for metabolism?
A facultative anaerobe can switch between using oxygen and not using oxygen for metabolism, while a facultative aerobe can only use oxygen for metabolism.
Is Bacillus Subtilis an aerobe or anaerobe?
Bacillus subtilis is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen.
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?
Serratia marcescens is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. While it can use oxygen for respiration, it also has the ability to ferment carbohydrates in anaerobic conditions when oxygen is not available.
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.
Is chickenpox virus an aerobe or anaerobe?
It is neither, since it is not living.
Is staphylococcus aureus obligate aerobe?
Streptococcus pyogenes is a facultative anaerobic gram-positive bacterium. It is not a obligate aerobe. It consists of long chains of round cells. The bacteria is non-motile, meaning it does not move.
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
What is the respiration of micrococcus luteus?
Micrococcus luteus is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can perform respiration in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) but can also switch to fermentation in the absence of oxygen. It typically utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor in its electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.
What is the difference between an aerobe and an anaerobe?
Aerobes utilize and thrive in oxygen, anaerobes are killed/ fail to thrive in oxygen.
What the different between aerobe and an anaerobe?
Aerobes utilize and thrive in oxygen, anaerobes are killed/ fail to thrive in oxygen.
What is the primary use of deep?
Agar deeps are used to see whether an organism requires oxygen to grow. If there is spreading growth only at the bottom of the tube, the organism is an obligate anaerobe (meaning it cannot tolerate oxygen). If there is growth only at the surface of the agar, the organism is an obligate aerobe (it cannot grow without oxygen). And if there is growth all along the point of innoculation, the organism is a facultative anaerobe and can survive either way.
