If a bacterium is a facultative anaerobe, can it grow on glutamate under anoxic conditions? please justify your answer
Homework Answers
ANSWER :
A facultative anerobic organism can survive in oxygen and uses it to make ATP via aerobic respiration, however it could also grow & survive in anoxic conditions via anerobic respiration or fermentation of substrates (e.g.- glutamate).

Is it possible a bacterium that can only grow at the bottom of a tube of thioglycolate broth is also oxidase- positive? Why, or why not? Select one: a. Yes, it is absolutely possible. This bacterium is facultative anaerobic, so it uses oxidase to ferment glucose. b. No, it is not possible. It is an obligate anaerobe, and has no reason to have enzymes needed for aerobic respiration. O c. No, it is not possible. It can only use fermentation...

Name one place on this Earth where you might find ONE species of bacterium that can be categorized to all of the 5 groups:photoautotroph, acidophile, mesophile, halophile, facultative anaerobe). Note again, this is one type of bacteria, not 5 different types. This place can be a huge piece of land/water or the outer space, but it can also be the body/tissue of a living organism. Please note that this bacterium may not actually exist. Use your imagination. Explain why this place...
