Aerobes may tolerate the presence of oxygen because they have one of several enzymes that can detoxify toxic oxygen by-products such as hydrogen peroxide or superoxide. One such enzyme is superoxide dismutase. Another one that we learned about in lab is: Select one: a. DNA gyrase b. RNA polymerase c. catalase d. NADH dehydrogenase II
