Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of facultative anaerobes include E. coli and… Facultative anaerobes are bacteria that can grow in both the presence or absence of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Generally, there are different types of anaerobic organisms. Facultative anaerobes (like Escherichia coli) are able to adapt their metabolism and can grow under conditions with or without oxygen but prefer aerobic conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Facultative anaerobes can grow with or without oxygen because they can metabolize energy aerobically or anaerobically. They gather mostly at the top because aerobic respiration generates more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) than either fermentation or anaerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -These are bacteria that, under normal circumstances, breathe anaerobically but can breathe aerobically when oxygen is available.
