Genome Property Definition Page
| Accession | GenProp0599 |
| Name | facultative anaerobe |
| Type | PHENOTYPIC |
| Description | Organisms which, when oxygen is present in sufficient amount, will utilize (respire) oxygen. When oxygen is insufficient, these organisms will switch to an anaerobic mode of metabolism in which some other molecule (nitrate, fumarate, metals, etc.) is utilized as a terminal electron acceptor. |
| Parent Property | GenProp0596: growth in the presence of oxygen GenProp0597: growth in the absence of oxygen |
