Chapter 34, Problem 1RC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference between the growth and physiology of obligate, facultative anaerobes, and strict anaerobes.
Introduction: An anaerobic or anaerobe is an organism that does not require oxygen for growth and development. An anaerobe may be unicellular or multicellular. Anaerobes are divided into three types: Obligate anaerobes, Strict anaerobes, and facultative anaerobes.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
S.no | Characteristics | Facultative anaerobes | Obligate anaerobes | Strict anaerobes |
1. | Definition | It is an anaerobe that makes ATP in aerobic conditions but can shift to anaerobic fermentation as well. | Obligate anaerobes cannot produce ATP in the presence of oxygen. | Strict anaerobes are the organism that cannot grow in more than five micro M of dissolved oxygen. |
2. | Can survive prolonged oxygen | yes | No | No |
3. | Example | E.coli | Clostridium botulinum | Phyromonasginngivalis |
4 | Contain enzymes | They contain superoxide dismutase and catalase | They contain superoxide dismutase and catalase | They lack this enzyme |
