What organism utilizes other molecules for final hydrogen acceptor?
|
Obligate anaerobes
|
|
Which organism lacks enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase to degrade superoxide to water and oxygen?
|
Obligate anaerobes
|
|
Why can't obligate anaerobes degrade superoxide to water and oxygen?
|
Lacks enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase
|
|
Which organism can survive with or without oxygen?
|
Facultative anaerobes
|
|
Which organism prefers oxygen but will utilize fermentative pathway without oxygen?
|
Facultative anaerobes
|
|
Which organism requires little amounts of O2 and can die in excess?
|
Microaerophiles
|
|
What happens to microaerophiles with excess oxygen?
|
Can die
|
|
Why does aerotolerant anaerobes survive in the presence of oxygen?
|
It contains enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase
|
|
Which organsim contains enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase?
|
Aerotolerant anaerobes
|
|
What organism is like obligate anaerobes but can survive in the presence of oxygen?
|
Aerotolerant anaerobes
|
|
What is the shake tube inoculation?
|
Bacteria is shaken in melted agar medium and dispersed throughout the test tube. Then it rapidly solidifies
|
|
In the shake tube inoculation, where does obligate aerobic bacteria gather and why?
|
At the top of the tube in order to absorb maximal amount of oxygen
|
|
In the tube, where does obligate anaerobic bacteria gather and why?
|
At the bottom to avoid oxygen
|
|
Which bacteria is not harmed by lack of oxygen and where can they be found?
|
Facultative bacteria. Along the test tube
|
|
Where does facultative bacteria mostly gather and why?
|
At the top because aerobic respiration is the most beneficial one
|
|
Which organism requires oxygen but at a low concentration?
|
Microaerophiles
|
|
Where do microaerophiles gather on a test tube?
|
Upper part of the test tube but not at the top
|
|
Which bacteria is not affected at all by oxygen?
|
Aerotolerant bacteria
|
|
Where is aerotolerant bacteria found on a test tube?
|
They are evenly spread along the test tube
