Genome Property Definition Page
| Accession | GenProp0675 |
| Name | anaerobe, aerotolerant |
| Type | PHENOTYPIC |
| Description | This classification describes organisms which prefer an anaerobic lifestyle but may survive breif or mild exposures to aerobic conditions. These organisms will have mechanisms for detoxifying reactive oxygen species which may include aerobic metabolic pathways, but will not have the ability to completely switch over to an aerobic lifestyle. Often such organisms will live in biological niches which are largely, or most commonly anaerobic, but may be periodically exposed to oxygen. Unlike microaerophiles, these organisms will not grow more robustly in the presence of small amounts of oxygen. |
