What is the oxygen requirement of this microbe?
Thioglycollate Broth
-Obligate aerobe=growth only occur at the top band of the broth
-Facultative anaerobes= growth uniformly throughout the broth
-Obligate anaerobes= growth only at the bottom of the tube
-Aerotolerant= growth throughout the tube until just below the surface of the broth
-Microaerophiles= growth in a heavy band just below the surface of the broth

- Hi can I get help on this microbiology question please? I am stuck and do not understand it. Thank you A prokaryotic cell hitched a ride to Earth on a space shuttle from some unknown planet. Microbiologists studied the microorganism and concluded it is a psychrophile, an obligate halophile, and an obligate aerobe. 1. Based on the characteristics of the microorganism described in this case, describe at least three characteristics that the unknown planet where the microorganism lived before must have so that it can survive in it. 2.
