Using oxygen for microbial growth allows for aerobic respiration, generating the most ATP, and thus faster growth.
El uso de oxígeno para el crecimiento microbiano permite la respiración aeróbica, la generación de la mayor cantidad de ATP y, por lo tanto, un crecimiento más rápido.
| Front | What are the pros of using oxygen for growth? |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. aerobic respiration to create ATP 2. generates the most ATP 3. more ATP = faster growth (benefit of oxygen) |
