requirement
classification
- Aerobes
- 1. Obligate aerobes
- 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
