Oxygen Ch.5 Flashcards
Many streptococci (oxygen)
Facultative
Microbes that require an atmosphere low in oxygen but rich in carbon dioxide
Capnophiles
Survive in environments where the concentration of oxygen is relatively low
Microaerophiles
Growth depends on a plentiful supply of oxygen
Obligate aerobes
Microbes that do not or cannot use oxygen
Anaerobes
Microbes that are inhibited or killed if oxygen is present
Obligate anaerobes
Members of the genus Bacillus (oxygen)
Facultative
Microbes that are insensitive to oxygen
Aeotolerant
Thiomargarita namibiensis (oxygen)
Anaerobe that uses sulfur in their metabolism activities instead of oxygen
Members of the genus streptococcus(oxygen)
Capnophiles
E.coli (oxygen)
Facultative
Clostridium (oxygen)
Anaerobe
Treponema pallidum(oxygen)
Microaerophile
Microbes that are neither aerobic nor anaerobic
Facultative
Members of the genus Neisseria(oxygen)
Capnophiles
