||
Microaerophiles |
||
Facultative Anaerobes |
||
Obligate Anaerobes |
||
Obligate Aerobes |
Answer=
The following types of bacteria can survive and grown in the presence of oxygen:
Obligate Aerobes - are the organisms that require oxygen to grow. without oxygen they can not grow.In presence of oxygen they can survive.
example - Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Microaerophiles = are the organisms which require oxygen to survive and can grown in the presence of oxygen but the level of oxygen must be low typically 10%.
Example - Campylobacter Jejuni.
Facultative Anaerobes = are the organisms that can survive & thrive in the presence of oxygen & can grown in presence or absence of oxygen.but they can shows better growth in the presence of oxygen.
Staphylococcus aureus.
INCORRECT OPTIONS : Some are survive but not grow in presence of oxygen.
Aerotolerant = Are the organisms that can survive in the presence of oxygen, but they does not require oxygen for their growth.
Obligate Anaerobes = can not survive & grow in presence of oxygen.
Example -Clostridium perfringens.
