need oxygen to grow. In a process known as cellular
respiration, these organisms use oxygen to oxidize
substrates (for example sugars and fats) and
generate energy.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Nocardia asteroides.
4. Microaerophiles
require oxygen for energy production, but
are harmed by atmospheric
concentrations of oxygen (21% O2).
Campylobacter jejuni
Helicobacter pylori,
Anaerobic
3. Facultative anaerobes
capable of
growing in the absence of oxygen.
Their energy comes from
fermentation. But if oxygen is present
they WILL derive their energy by
aerobic respiration.
Staphylococcus aureus
2. Obligate
anaerobes
Cannot grow in the presence
of oxygen. Some obligate
anaerobes are even harmed
by oxygen.
Clostridium perfringens
5. Aerotolerant bacteria
do not need oxygen to grow, but can survive in its presence.
Clostridium intestinale
