how could you determine whether a microbe is a strict anaerobe?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ To determine whether a microbe is a strict anaerobe, you can use several methods. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Oxygen Tolerance Test: Grow the microbe in a medium with and without oxygen. Strict anaerobes will only grow in the absence of oxygen. ‖‖ b ⋮ Thioglycollate Broth: Use thioglycollate broth, which creates an oxygen gradient. Strict anaerobes will grow only at the bottom where oxygen is absent. ‖‖ c ⋮ Anaerobic Jar: Incubate the microbe in an anaerobic jar or chamber. Strict anaerobes will thrive in this oxygen-free environment. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Strict anaerobes cannot tolerate oxygen and will only grow in its absence. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Strict anaerobes lack the enzymes necessary to neutralize toxic oxygen species, making them unable to survive in the presence of oxygen. ⚹◊What specific metabolic pathway could be used to determine if a microbe is a strict anaerobe?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
