What is oxygen used for?

What term used to to refer to a bacterium that cannot exist at normal atmospheric oxygen levels.?

  • Is it obligate anaerobes? And what type of media that would be used in the lab in order to evaluate a bacterium’s oxygen requirements? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    obligate anaerobe is without oxygen. Low oxygen is a microaerophile. You just mix the bacteria with agar in a test tube and they will migrate down to the bottom and produce bubbles when the agar solidifies.
