AA = strict anaerobes: Clostridium, Sarcina, and many genera from
the rumen of cattle, intestines and similar sites. Strict anaerobes grow only were oxygen is absent. Some are more sensitive to oxygen than others. Some species, especially those from the rumen and intestines, die rapidly when exposed to oxygen. Most Clostridium are not killed by such brief exposure but can't grow in oxygen. Some species of Clostridium can grow slowly in the presence of air. No species of Clostridium is able to produce spores when free (uncombined) oxygen is present.
FA = facultative anaerobes: Escherichia, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, and Proteus grow best in oxygen but can grow in the absence of oxygen by stealing oxygen from foods such as nitrate, sugars, and other "honorary oxygens". The result of this is production of nitrite, organic acids (lactic acid, formic acid, etc.), and other substances which are often foul-smelling. Tubes containing facultative anaerobes contain growth throughout when the bacteria are evenly distributed, but there is usually a heavier growth on the surface of the agar because they grow best in air.
MA = microaerephilic: Azospirillum, Aquaspirillum, Cytophaga
require oxygen but grow best just below the surface of the agar where oxygen is reduced. This type of bacteria is relatively uncommon in laboratories because some won't grow on GST and other common media. It is difficult to find a species which will grow in a well defined band a millimeter or so below the surface to produce a mice band below the surfarce as seen here. Often the band is so near the surface that you can confuse these for aerobic species, however, they do not grow profusely on the surface of the agar like aerobic species.
A = strict aerobes: Acetobacter, Arthobacter,
Azomonas, Bacillus, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, Xanthomonasgrow only on the surface of the agar where they get plenty of oxygen. Most produce a heavy growth above the agar which may be a liquid. Some bacteria produce slimes or capsules and these produce exceptional profuse growth above the agar and may burrow into the agar slightly. The liguid containing cells may run down between the walls of the tube and the agar plug, but you should not confuse this with growth.
I = indifferent: Lactobaccilus, some Streptococcus, and most other milk organisms grow equally well on the surface and within the agar because they are indifferent to the oxygen level. Notice that the bacteria grow uniformly on the surface and to the bottom of tube provided the cells are distributed uniformly. The growth is similar to that of facultative anaerobes except FAs have a heavy growth of bacteria at the surface. At the surface indifferent bacteria may have barely noticeable growth of cells. We know they can grow on the surface because they do so when spread on a pertri plate. Actually, many of these bacteria require vitamines, amino acids, and other growth factors and the colonies may be tiny even on the media most suitable for them.
What else can I help you with?
What requires oxygen?
carbon dioxide
What requires oxygen in the generation of ATP?
Mitochondria.
Why must brewers take special care to prevent air from entering fermentation tanks?
There are anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria thrive in oxygen rich environments. Oxygen is potentially lethal to anaerobic bacteria. If the system is set up to use anaerobic bacteria, you want to keep out the air which brings in oxygen to maintain the best environment for the desired bacteria.
What is the process that requires oxygen to occur?
The name of the process that requires oxygen is aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
What bacterias produces oxygen?
Cyanobacteria or blue-algae are microbes that produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Some scientists believe that these bacteria were the first to produce oxygen on Earth.
. 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.
Which anaerobic bacteria was used by engelmann in his experiment?
the aerobic bacteria showed him the amount of oxygen produced since aerobic requires oxygen. the more bacteria produced, the more oxygen there had to have been, which means photosynthesis occurred the fastest where there was the greatest amount of bacteria.
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria-?
Aerobic bacteria uses oxygen for cellular respiration and anaerobic bacteria doesn't require oxygen to survive. ˇ_ˇ 
What kind of bacterial requires oxygen?
Obligate aerobes are bacteria that require oxygen for their growth and survival. They rely on aerobic respiration to generate energy.
Does Alcanivorax Borkumensis need oxygen?
Yes, Alcanivorax borkumensis is an obligate aerobe, meaning it requires oxygen for growth and metabolism. It uses oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor in its respiratory chain to generate energy for cellular activities.
What are bacteria that need oxygen to survive called?
Bacteria that need oxygen to survive are called aerobic bacteria.
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
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.
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
Do Bacteria breath oxygen?
Bacteria do not breathe in the sense that we do, but many do require oxygen. These are called aerobic bacteria. Some bacteria will use oxygen if it is present, but can function without it. These are called facultative anaerobes. Still other bacteria will die if exposed to oxygen. These are called obligate anaerobes.
What type of bacteria must have oxygen to live?
Aerobic bacteria must have oxygen to live.
What is the specific name of the one organism on earth that does not use oxygen it its respiratory system?
There exist several life forms which do not need oxygen for survival, for example bacteria purple sulfur bacteria (Chromatiales). But if I recall correctly, no higher life forms which don't need oxygen exist on Earth.
