do you think an enteric organism would be an obligate or facultative anaerobe? What results would you expect to see on the O-F test?
Added by Joanna W.
Step 1
- Obligate anaerobes are organisms that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen and rely on anaerobic processes for energy production. - Facultative anaerobes can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen, using aerobic respiration when oxygen is Show more…

All enterics (Enterobacteriaceae) are facultative anaerobes and are capable of both aerobic respiration and fermentation. What color results would you expect for organisms in O-F glucose media inoculated with an enteric? Remember to describe both sealed and unsealed tubes.

Describe the microbial growth pattern you would expect of a facultative anaerobe within a thioglycollate broth and explain why the facultative anaerobe produces that particular growth pattern in the thioglycollate broth.
