Examples of aerotolerant anaerobe in the following topics:
-
- Conversely, obligate anaerobes are killed by oxygen and carry out fermentation.
- Tetanus is an obligate anaerobe so it will infect areas where oxygen in limited.
- Aerotolerant anaerobes breath anaerobically (without oxygen), but they are able to survive when oxygen is present.
-
- Facultative anaerobes can use oxygen, but also have anaerobic (i.e. not requiring oxygen) methods of energy production.
- Aerotolerant organisms can survive in the presence of oxygen, but they are anaerobic because they do not use it as a terminal electron acceptor.
- An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth.
- Aerotolerant organisms, which cannot use oxygen for growth, but tolerate the presence of it.
- They require oxygen, but at a lower concentration. 5) Aerotolerant bacteria are not affected at all by oxygen, and they are evenly spread along the test tube.
-
- This genus of bacteria is characterized by their sphingolipid based membranes and are typically non-endospore forming and anaerobic.
- The ability of the bacteroides to function in an anaerobic environment allow them to reside in the abdominal cavity in aerotolerant conditions.
- An image of Bacteroides biacutus, an anaerobic bacterium present within the gastrointestinal tract.
-
- Anoxic hydrocarbon oxidation can be used to degrade toxic hydrocarbons, such as crude oil, in anaerobic environments.
- Although it was once thought that hydrocarbon compounds could only be degraded in the presence of oxygen, the discovery of anaerobic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and pathways show that the anaerobic degradation of hydrocarbons occurs naturally.
- Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a microbial process that occurs in anoxic marine sediments.
- It is estimated that almost 90% of all the methane that arises from marine sediments is oxidized anaerobically by this process.
- Microbes may be used to degrade toxic hydrocarbons in anaerobic environments.
-
- In anaerobic respiration, a molecule other than oxygen is used as the terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
- Anaerobic respiration is the formation of ATP without oxygen.
- Many different types of electron acceptors may be used for anaerobic respiration.
- Organic compounds may also be used as electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration.
- A molecule other than oxygen is used as the terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration.
-
- Certain prokaryotes, including some species of bacteria and archaea, use anaerobic respiration.
- Eukaryotes can also undergo anaerobic respiration.
- Many prokaryotes are facultatively anaerobic.
- Certain prokaryotes, like Clostridia, are obligate anaerobes.
- Obligate anaerobes live and grow in the absence of molecular oxygen.
-
- Creatine supplements may increase anaerobic exercise performance by augmenting phosphocreatine levels and ATP availability.
- Creatine supplements, when used in the short-term, can increase performance during high intensity anaerobic exercise that requires short bursts of muscle contraction.
- This is a reflection of the differential energy pools used for anaerobic versus aerobic respiration, specifically the prioritization of use of phosphocreatine as an ATP pool for Type II muscles, which are primarily used during anaerobic exercise.
- Though there is evidence that creatine supplementation can improve anaerobic exercise performance, it is not banned in professional or college sports.
-
- Bacteria that perform anaerobic fermentation often partner with methanogenic archea bacteria to provide necessary products such as hydrogen.
- A frequently cited example of syntrophy are methanogenic archaea bacteria and their partner bacteria that perform anaerobic fermentation.
- Methanogenesis in microbes is a form of anaerobic respiration, performed by bacteria in the domain Archaea.
- Without methanogenesis, a great deal of carbon (in the form of fermentation products) would accumulate in anaerobic environments.
-
- Anammox, an abbreviation for ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation, is a globally significant microbial process of the nitrogen cycle.
- Anammox, an abbreviation for ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation , is a globally significant microbial process of the nitrogen cycle.
- Since oxygen is not required for the process, these organisms are strict anaerobes.
- Describe the overall process of ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation (Anammox) and its purpose
-
- Methanogens are an important group of microoraganisms that produce methane as a metabolic byproduct under anaerobic conditions.
- Methanogenic archaea, or methanogens, are an important group of microoraganisms that produce methane as a metabolic byproduct under anaerobic conditions.
- Methanogens play a vital ecological role in anaerobic environments by removing excess hydrogen and fermentation products produced by other forms of anaerobic respiration.
