Do bacteria require oxygen for growth?

plsssssssssss help me!!!!!!

Do bacteria require oxygen for growth?
yes ofcourse they require oxygen for respiration if they are aerobic bacteria. oxygen helps in respiration to break sugars down to release energy used in cell mechanisms and growth.


this releases CO2.





however, there are anaerbic bacteria that dont require oxygen, but they require CO2.
