If a bacterium is a facultative anaerobe, can it grow on glutamate under anoxic conditions? please justify your answer
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).

If two cultures of a facultative anaerobe were grown under identical conditions except that one was exposed to oxygen and the other was completely deprived of oxygen. Which of the two cultures will contain more cells at the end of a week? Why? For microbiology
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...

Under what conditions can a mixed strategy i that randomizes over two pure strategies si and s'i be weakly dominant for player i? Justify your answer.
please correct #34-40 with extra explanation for #36 that was hard for me to answer 34. Superoxide dismutase is an enzyme used by many organisms to detoxify oxygen free radicals, by-products from oxygen metabolism. Enterococcus is a genus of aerotolerant anaerobes.From what you know of oxygen use and bacterial metabolism, you would expect species of Enterococcus to have_ superoxide dismutase activity. a. very high ( b. Jow c.no d. not enough information e. none of these 35. These bacteria can...
