#Question id: 40193

#Applied Microbiology

Read the following statements:

Statement I: Obligate anaerobes cannot survive in the presence of oxygen because they lack the enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase.

Statement II: Facultative anaerobes require oxygen for growth and cannot grow in its absence
