Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 2TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The growth of anaerobes in the human mouth where there is so much oxygen.
Introduction:
Microbes that grow within the presence of oxygen molecules are known as aerobic microbes while those that grow within the absence of oxygen are known as anaerobic microbes. The microbes that can grow in both the conditions are called facultative microbes.

How do microbes differ in their response to oxygen levels? Why would they differ? What enzymes are needed to adapt to environments containing differing amounts of oxygen?
Why do obligate aerobes (and facultative anaerobes) need oxygen? Be specific.
What is one difference between fermentation and anaerobic respiration? Since neither requires oxygen, why would a microbe select one of these versus the other? Name a specific microbe which uses fermentation and a specific microbe which uses anaerobic respiration.
