Since these species are both facultative anaerobes, both types of bacteria are capable of utilizing fermentation for their energy needs, as opposed to respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen.

Bergey's Manual describes Streptococcus and Escherichia as faculative anaerobes How do the oxygen requirements of these organisms differ...Which one could correctly be called an aerotolerant anaerobe?

Streptococcus is an obligate anaerobe and therefore lacks catalase. However, Streptococcus would be considered an aerotolerant anaerobe because, even though it lacks catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide, it also lacks the cytochrome system that would produce hydrogen peroxide in the first place. Therefore, it is not aerobic, but it is tolerant of aerobic conditions.


How do types of fermentation differ?

They have different oxygen requirements


Is streptococcus aerobic or anaerobic?

Streptococcus is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can grow in both aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) conditions.


Is Escherichia coli capable of thriving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments?

Yes, Escherichia coli is capable of thriving in both aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) environments.


Can Streptococcus grow in oxygen?

Yes, Streptococcus can grow in oxygen, as it is a facultative anaerobe. This means that it can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen, although it prefers environments with lower levels of oxygen for optimal growth.


Can Escherichia coli survive in area with no oxygen?

Yes, Escherichia coli, a facultative anaerobe, can survive in areas with no oxygen by switching to anaerobic respiration pathways. This allows them to generate energy without oxygen through processes like fermentation.


When a escherichia coli can produce energy without oxygen what is that called?

Anaerobic


Does E. coli require oxygen?

No. Escherichia coli is considered to be a facilitative anaerobe.


In what ways do facultative anaerobic bacteria differ from the other two types of bacteria in terms of their oxygen requirements?

Facultative anaerobic bacteria can survive with or without oxygen, while obligate aerobes require oxygen to survive and obligate anaerobes cannot survive in the presence of oxygen.


Is streptococcus mutans a aerobic bacteria?

Streptococcus mutans is a facultative anaerobe, which means it can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen. It prefers environments with less oxygen, such as within dental plaque where it can metabolize sugars to produce acid and contribute to tooth decay.


What bacteria can live in oxygen?

Bacteria that can live in oxygen are known as aerobic bacteria. Some examples include Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These bacteria use oxygen for their metabolism and growth.


What is a bacterium that needs oxygen?

A bacterium that needs oxygen is called an aerobic bacterium
