  Aerobic organism
An aerobic organism or aerobe is an organism that has an oxygen based metabolism.
Aerobes, in a process known as cellular respiration, use oxygen to oxidize substrates (for example sugars and fats) in order to obtain energy.
Being an obligate aerobe, although being advantageous from the energetical point of view, means also obligatory facing high levels of oxydative stress[?].

Obligate anaerobic procaryotes may live by fermentation, anaerobic respiration, bacterial photosynthesis, or the novel process of methanogenesis.
In aerobes and aerotolerant anaerobes the potential for lethal accumulation of superoxide is prevented by the enzyme superoxide dismutase (Figure 1).
Obligate anaerobes lack superoxide dismutase and catalase and/or peroxidase, and therefore undergo lethal oxidations by various oxygen radicals when they are exposed to O

To bring or place under obligation, moral or legal; to hold by a constraining motive.

Describes a microbe (bacterium, fungus) that must have a certain element (such as oxygen) or compound present or absent in their environment; for instance, an obligate anaerobe cannot survive in an oxygen-containing environment, whereas an obligate aerobe must have oxygen or it will die.

 Aerobic organism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Obligate aerobes require oxygen for aerobic cellular respiration.
Microaerophiles are organisms that may use oxygen, but only at low concentrations.
Being an obligate aerobe, although being advantageous from the energetical point of view, means also obligatory facing high levels of oxidative stress.

 Differential Media - Oxygen Relationships
[Strict or Obligate] Anaerobe: An organism that is incapable of oxygen-dependent growth and cannot grow in the presence of an oxygen concentration equivalent to that present in an air atmosphere (21% oxygen).
The observed growth patterns of organisms in this medium determine their oxygen relationship designations (strict aerobe, facultative anaerobe, etc.) which correlate with such physiological abilities as respiration, fermentation and the catalase reaction and also whether there is an inhibitory effect on the organism in the presence of air.
Thus, a description of a chemoheterotrophic organism as a "strict aerobe" can imply a number of associated characteristics that may be unnecessary to specify separately (able to respire, unable to ferment, catalase-positive, azide-sensitive, etc.).

 Non Nutrient Factors Affecting Growth
An aerobe is a microorganism that can utilize molecular oxygen as its final electron acceptor, i.e., as in cellular (aerobic) respiration.
An obligate aerobe is a microorganism that cannot live in the absence of molecular oxygen.
One usage of the term obligate anaerobe is to describe only those microorganisms which are unable to grow (and, for that matter, even survive) in the presence of molecular oxygen.

Although there is a small zone at the bottom where no growth occurs, this is probably due to incomplete mixing of the original inoculum into the medium.
Obligate aerobe: Growth is restricted to the surface and, at most, a small depth into the medium (indicated with the bracket).
Although the depth of the zone will differ among species depending upon how inhibitory oxygen is to their growth, typically the zone is only a few millimeters deep.
