.How is a facultative anaerobe different from a facultative halophile? 4.Explain how a strict aerobe is different from a strict anaerobe. 5.What would happen to the bacteria if you accidentally closed all of the caps all the way? Would any of the cultures have grown? If so, explain which would grow and which wouldn’t.
