What type of microbes can grow in the absence of oxygen?

• Anaerobic microbes are organisms that can grow and thrive in the absence of oxygen. They do not require oxygen for respiration and often use other substances (like sulfate, nitrate, or carbon dioxide) to carry out metabolic processes.

📌Other Options Explanations:

-Aerobic: Aerobic microbes require oxygen for their metabolic processes, such as respiration.
-Facultative anaerobic: These versatile microbes can function with or without oxygen. They can switch between aerobic respiration (using oxygen) and anaerobic respiration (not using oxygen) depending on the available oxygen levels.
