Facultative anaerobes are organisms that can survive and grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. E. coli and Salmonella are examples of facultative anaerobes as they can switch between aerobic and anaerobic respiration depending on the oxygen availability. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their food from inorganic sources, while aerobes require oxygen to live. Obligate anaerobes cannot survive in the presence of oxygen, and phototrophs use light to produce energy.
