Question

Bacteria which require carbon dioxide for their growth are called​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Obligate anaerobes are microbes that will die in the presence of oxygen without respect to the concentration of carbon dioxide in their environment, and typically acquire energy through anaerobic respiration or fermentation. In 2004, a capnophilic bacterium was characterized that appears to require carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Bacteria that require carbon dioxide for their growth are called OBLIGATE ANAEROBES.

OBLIGATE ANAEROBES -

• The organisms require carbon dioxide for survival and growth.
• In the presence of oxygen, bacteria die due to the high toxicity of oxygen.
• Bacterias respire through fermentation or electron acceptors such as methane, nitrate, sulphate, iron, manganese, carbon monoxide.
• Show slow metabolism and energy production rate in comparison to aerobic bacteria.
• Most obligate anaerobes are found in the soil and digestive system.
• Example - Clostridium, Perovotella, Fusobacterium.
