An obligate parasite can only live inside a cell. This includes viruses and intracellular bacteria.

A facultative parasite can live inside or outside of a cell.

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


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.


What is the difference between aerobes and facultative aerobes?

Aerobes require oxygen for growth and metabolism, while facultative anaerobes can switch between aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen and fermentation in the absence of oxygen. Facultative anaerobes have the flexibility to thrive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor environments.


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 an obligate halophile an organism that requires high osmotic pressure?

Yes, an obligate halophile is an organism that requires high osmotic pressure, typically in the form of high salt concentrations, to survive and thrive. These organisms have adapted to living in environments with high salt content and would not be able to survive in environments with lower osmotic pressure.

Is there term like obligate saprophyte and facultative saprophyte?

Yes, obligate saprophytes are organisms that can only survive by decomposing organic matter, while facultative saprophytes can switch between being parasitic and saprophytic depending on the availability of resources.


What is the difference between obligate aerobes obligate anaerobes?

aerobes are those which require free molecular oxygen about 21% in air while facultative anaerobes can survive in both conditions presence and absence of oxygen


What is the different between obligate anaerobe and facultative anaerobe?

Facultative anaerobes does not need o2 to grow but can also grow with o2. Obligate anaerobe cannot grow at all in the presence of o2.


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


List two forms of anerobes?

* 1.) Obligate Anaerobes (can live only oxygen-free environment)* 2.) Facultative Anaerobes (can live oxygen including environment, but makes anaerobic fermentation)

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.

vector is usually is the arthropodes carrying the parasites such as mosquitoes.

What is the difference between internal and external parasites in cattle?

Internal parasites in cattle can be worms in the intestinal tract and external ones would be ticks, flies and fleas on their skin.
