aerobic bacteria - bacteria which need oxygen to survive, eg. staphylococcus aureus, commonly found on the skin.

anaerobic bacteria - bacteria which can survive without oxygen, and will die with oxygen. eg. e. coli, bacteroids, commonly found in the digestive tract

Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration?

Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration are known as anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria can survive and grow in the absence of oxygen by using alternative electron acceptors in anaerobic pathways such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Methanogens.

Salmonella bacteria are anaerobic.


In an oxygen-rich environment which has a competitive advantage aerobic bacteria or anaerobic bacteria?

Aerobic bacteria have a competitive advantage in an oxygen-rich environment because they can use oxygen as a final electron acceptor in their respiration process, which generates more energy than anaerobic respiration. This allows aerobic bacteria to outcompete anaerobic bacteria and thrive in oxygen-rich conditions.


Which is more effective in reducing organic carbon load in sewers. aerobic or anaerobic bacteria?

Aerobic bacteria are more effective in reducing organic carbon load in sewers compared to anaerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria require oxygen to break down organic matter, leading to more efficient degradation of organic materials. Anaerobic bacteria are slower and produce byproducts such as sulfides and odorous compounds.

20 How do facultative anaerobic bacteria differ from the other two?

Facultative anaerobic bacteria can switch between using aerobic and anaerobic metabolism depending on oxygen availability. Obligate anaerobic bacteria cannot survive in the presence of oxygen and rely only on anaerobic metabolism, while obligate aerobic bacteria require oxygen for survival and use aerobic metabolism exclusively.


How do Aerobic bacteria different from anaerobic bacteria?

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


Why are aerobic cultures drawn before anaerobic cultures?

Aerobic cultures are typically drawn first because aerobic bacteria are more likely to be present in the sample and grow faster than anaerobic bacteria. This allows for quicker identification and treatment of potential infections.
