An organism, especially a bacterium, that requires oxygen to live.
Organism which needs molecular oxygen for respiration and hence for growth and life. After Nagel et al. (eds), 1991
An organism which requires oxygen in its respiration.
Bacteria that use oxygen as an electron acceptor.
Organism capable of using molecular oxygen (O2) in aerobic respiration, either as a requirement to live (as in obligate aerobes) or as an energy-yielding process to supplement fermentation (as in facultative aerobes) : ~ See Also: complete aerobe; facultative aerobe; obligate aerobe.
an organism especially a bacterium that requires air or free oxygen for life
a microorganism that can utilize molecular oxygen as its final electron acceptor, i
an organism that can live and grow in the presence of oxygen
An aerobic organism is one that grows in the presence of oxygen. A strict aerobe grows only under such a condition.
A microorganism capable of growing in the presence of free oxygen, may be facultative or obligate.
The descriptive name given to a microorganism that can grow in conditions where oxygen is present. Such organisms are capable of growing in normal air, equivalent to 20% oxygen, or in aerated liquids containing dissolved oxygen. Many aerobes are equally able to grow in the absence of oxygen. These are termed facultative anaerobes.
an organism that utilizes molecular oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration.
Micro-organisms that survive in the presence of oxygen (air)
An organism that grows only in the presence of free (molecular) oxygen.
An organism that requires free oxygen for respiration. ( 15)
An organism that lives only in the presence of oxygen.
Microorganisms that require the presence of oxygen.
n: An organism that utilizes atmospheric oxygen (0 ) in its metabolic pathways. An organism that must have oxygen in order to survive is an obligate aerobe .
