From the list below, choose the bacterial oxygen requirement (atleft) that properly matches the description (at right).
1. Facultative anaerobes: tolerate O2 but do notneed O2; metabolism is via fermentation
2. Microaerophiles: grow in presence of O2, but canalso grow without O2
3. Obligate aerobes: require O2 to survive anddo not tolerate poor O2 conditions
4. Aerotolerant anaerobes: killed with even brief exposure toO2
5. Obligate anaerobes: requires some O2, but highconcentrations of O2 are inhibitory
You find a Gram-positive bacillus with a gene mutation making itunable to make teichoic acid. What is the most likely impact onthis cell?
A It couldn't transport large nutrients into the cell.
B It couldn't attach to other cells or surfaces.
C. It wouldn't have protection from cold temperatures.
D It coudn't generate a positive charge.
It would be unable to maintain cell shape.
From the list below, choose the bacterial oxygen requirement (at left) that properly matches the description (at right).
