What feature does AA have that allows it to grow well in a CO2 enriched environment?

  1. Aerobic

  2. Anaerobic

  3. Capnophilic

  4. Microaerophilic

The correct answer is: Capnophilic

Capnophilic means that an organism is able to thrive in an environment with high levels of carbon dioxide. Option A (aerobic) refers to growth in oxygen-rich environments while option B (anaerobic) refers to growth in the absence of oxygen. Option D (microaerophilic) means growth in low levels of oxygen. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they do not relate to carbon dioxide levels, which is the key feature of capnophilic organisms.
