Because they die in the presence of catalase. They also die in the presence of oxygen, due to the absence of superoxide dismutase and catalase. It converts the lethal superoxide inside their cells due to the presence of oxygen.

What type of bacteria can live in the presence of oxygen?

only obligate aerobes and facultive anaerobes.


What is obligate anaerobe and faculative anaerobe?

Obligate aerobes are organisms that thrive in oxygen and require it to live (make ATP for energy). Obligate anaerobes are the exact opposite (require the absolute absense of oxygen to survive, and use fermentation to make ATP). Facultative anaerobes can survive with or without oxygen, but do better with oxygen.


What bacterium doesn't need oxygen?

Microbes or bacteria that grow in an anaerobic environment don't need oxygen. They cannot generate energy through aerobic respiration and must employ fermentation or anaerobic respiration for this purpose. They can be: FACULTATIVE ANAEROBES: do not require oxygen for growth, but grow better in its presence. AEROTOLERANT ANAEROBES: such as Enterococcus faecallis, simply ignore oxygen and grow equally well whether it is present or not. STRICT/OBLIGATE ANAEROBES: do not tolerate oxygen at all and die in its presence, e.g., Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium pasteurianum, Methanococcus, Neocallimastix, etc.

What do developing embryos require for survival?

Developing embryos require a stable environment with proper nutrients, oxygen, and temperature. They also need protection from harmful substances and proper genetic programming for healthy development. Additionally, they rely on the mother's body for support in terms of shelter and nourishment.
