An organism with the capacity to grow in both the presence and the absence of oxygen. See Aerobe and Anaerobe.
An organism that grows in the presence or the absence of oxygen.
An organism that can use either fermentation or respiration to obtain energy, depending on whether or not oxygen is present (Lecture: The Bacterial Cell: Structure, Function, Growth, and Gene Regulation II, 1/29/02)
An organism that can grow well both in the absence of oxygen and in the presence of a level of oxygen equivalent to that in an air atmosphere (21%). Some are capable of growing aerobically by respiring with oxygen and of growing anaerobically by fermentation; others have a strictly fermentative type of metabolism and do not respire with oxygen.
Microorganism that does not require atmospheric oxygen, but grows better in its presence.
can grow under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions
an organism that makes atp by aerobic respiration if oxygen is present but that
a microorganism that normally lives in the presence of oxygen but can grow in an environment lacking oxygen.
A bacterium that grows under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
uses oxygen when present but can either ferment or anaerobically respire without it
An organism which is normally aerobic but can also grow without oxygen.
Refers to an organism that normally grows aerobically but can grow anaerobically. ( 16)
