Summary Introduction
To determine:
The culture of the facultative anaerobe that will contain more cells at the end of the week.
Case summary:
In the given scenario two cultures containing facultative anaerobes are grown in the same medium, but one is exposed to air and the other is kept in anaerobic conditions.

Two cultures of a facultative anaerobe are grown in the same medium, but one culture is exposed to air and the other is maintained under anaerobic conditions. Which of the two cultures will contain more cells at the end of a week? Why?
E. coli, a facultative anaerobe, is grown for 24 hours on the same type of solid medium, but under two different conditions: one aerobic, the other anaerobic. The size of the colonies would bea) the same under both conditions.b) larger when grown under aerobic conditions.c) larger when grown under anaerobic conditions.
Why will a strict anaerobe grow in thioglycollate broth even when the medium is exposed to atmospheric oxygen?
