Task two A. Describe the difference between an obligate and facultative aerobe. Obligate aerobe refers to the organisms that cannot survive in environments without any presence of oxygen. Facultative aerobes refer to the organisms that can survive in the presence of oxygen, but they do not require it to survive (Gillespie, Hawkey, & Wiley, 2006). B. Discuss the temperature requirements of the organisms in this lab. The temperature

Introduction: Biological organisms are classified uniformly in order to easily categorize and identify organisms. This classification, or taxonomy, uses the genus name followed by the species name, in Latin. By having a universal method of identifying bacteria allows for all scientists from any part of the world to identify the same species in an identical manner allowing for a precise of classification. Bacteria are distributed throughout the world in almost every conceivable habit. Bacteria
