| facultative anaerobe |
An organism that can grow well both in the absence of oxygen and in the presence of a level of oxygen equivalent to that in an air atmosphere (21%). Some are capable of growing aerobically by respiring with oxygen and of growing anaerobically by fermentation; others have a strictly fermentative type of metabolism and do not respire with oxygen.
