Answer

Facultative and obligate anaerobes are two types of organisms that are categorized based on oxygen requirement and the types of cellular respiration used to derive energy. Both groups can survive in the absence of oxygen. Facultative and obligate anaerobes can be bacteria, fungi, or endoparasites.
