Question

ou inoculate a plate of general-purpose medium with clostridium sporogenes, and you incubate it for 48 hours at its optimum temperature. when you remove the plate from the incubator, you notice that there is no growth on the plate. besides errors made in inoculation, what else could explain this lack of growth? multiple choice this organism is a facultative anaerobe and requires the absence of oxygen for growth. this organism is an obligate aerobe and requires the presence of oxygen for growth.

Answer 1

Assume that a plate of Clostridium Sporogenes is being incubated in a CO₂ incubator, so this lack of growth is caused by the absence of oxygen, and this organism is an obligate aerobe.

When you look at the plate, if there is another microorganism growing then there’s contamination while you inoculate. If there is no microorganism at all then Clostridium Sporogenes need oxygen as one of its growth factors.

Obligate aerobe is a need for oxygen to grow through cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a process to metabolize fats and sugars to produce energy or ATP Adenosine Triphosphate. Aerobic respiration gains more energy than fermentation.
