You grow Lactobacillus,an aerotolerant anaerobe,for twelve hours in two identical glucose-conntaining flasks under aerobic conditions (Flask A)and anaerobic conditions (Flask B).Select the correct statements.(Select all that apply)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactobacillus is an aerotolerant anaerobe, which means it can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen but does not use oxygen for energy production. Therefore, the growth rate, pH, and biomass production should not be significantly different between the two conditions. Additionally, the amount of ATP produced may vary depending on the metabolic pathway used, but it is not possible to predict which flask may produce more ATP without further information.
