oxygen usage of microbes Test #2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| obligate aerobe | strictly aerobic must have oxygen to grow (grows on top of tube) |
| microaerophile | grow best at low oxygen levels, less than atmospheric levels (grows in middle) |
| facultative anaerobes | use oxygen if it is available, but can also grow without it (anaerobic), or at any oxygen level (more at top and some throughout) |
| aerotolerant anaerobes | never use oxygen, but not inhibited by it (throughout) |
| obligate anaerobes | grow only in the absence of oxygen, inhibited by it (grows at bottom) |
