Bacteria requiring oxygen for growth but are poisoned by high oxygen levels. They cannot ferment or respire anaerobically.

Aerotolerant Anaerobes

Bacteria that do not need oxygen and utilize fermentation to produce energy. They are not harmed by oxygen.

Catalase

An enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic byproduct of oxygen metabolism.

Oxidase

An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of electrons to oxygen.
