What is the oxygen requirement of this microbe?
Thioglycollate Broth
-Obligate aerobe=growth only occur at the top band of the broth
-Facultative anaerobes= growth uniformly throughout the broth
-Obligate anaerobes= growth only at the bottom of the tube
-Aerotolerant= growth throughout the tube until just below the surface of the broth
-Microaerophiles= growth in a heavy band just below the surface of the broth
Match each of the following terms to their proper description. You
