Chapter 5, Problem 2TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The process for the conversion of a facultative anaerobe into an obligate anaerobe.
Introduction:
Certain microbes can grow in the presence of oxygen while others require an environment which is totally devoid of oxygen. The microbes that grow in the presence of oxygen are termed as aerobes while the microbes that survive in the absence of oxygen are known as anaerobes. Anaerobes generate energy through the fermentation process while aerobes produce energy through

Why does an facaltive anaerobic bacterium usually grow better with oxygen than without?
if a bacterium lacks cytochrome C oxidase, does that make the bacterium an anaerobe? Explain?
How would a facultative anaerobe growth curve change if it was placed in the presence of oxygen environment? If the organism were to be placed in an anaerobic environment during log phase, how would the growth curve look?
