What is the difference between a strict anaerobe and a facultative anaerobe?

What will be an ideal response?


Strict anaerobes cannot utilize oxygen as a final acceptor, generally live in oxygen free environments,
and therefore carry out fermentation. Facultative anaerobes can switch between fermentation and full
oxidative pathways depending on oxygen supply.
