Which type of microbes grow well in the condition of enriched oxygen?(a) Obligate anaerobes(b) Obligate aerobes(c) Facultative anaerobes(d) Facultative aerobesThis question was addressed to me in an online interview.This is a very interesting question from Oxygen Uptake in Cell Cultures topic in portion Mass Transfer of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Obligate AEROBES

Easiest explanation: Most cells are aerobic and therefore need to be supplied with oxygen to GROW (obligate aerobes). Some find oxygen toxic and grow badly in its presence (obligate anaerobes), while OTHERS grow better when oxygen is present, but CONTINUE to do so if its absence (FACULTATIVE anaerobes).
