It is an obligate acidophile with an optimal pH less than 4.0, but it also qualifies as an obligate aerobe and chemolithotroph.
12.
In this type of respiration, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor for the electron transport chain . but obligate aerobes are subject to high levels of oxidative stress.
13.
Aerobic organism mentions that there are facultative aerobes, which do not require oxygen because they have alternate methods of generating energy, while obligate aerobes cannot live without oxygen.
14.
""'Bacillus sphaericus " "'is an obligate aerobe bacterium used as a larvicide for mosquito control of the Anopheles and Culex genera.
15.
Some of the microbes involved are obligate aerobes so need a small amount of oxygen to survive, but some are capable of surviving as anaerobes and don't need oxygen at all . ]]

M . sedula is a cocci, roughly 1 um in diameter with pilus-like structures protruding from its surface when viewed via electron microscopy . That is an obligate aerobe that grows best at 75C and pH 2.0.
17.
""'Virgibacillus " "'is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped ( bacillus ) bacteria and a member of the phylum Firmicutes . " Virgibacillus " species can be obligate aerobes ( oxygen reliant ), or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive.
18.
On a macroscopic scale, this would of course become complicated because the organism as a whole has to shut down gracefully, but you get my drift . Not needing air continuously seems to be a significant advantage, so I'm guessing there are deep-seated design issues for obligate aerobes that prevent this from being possible-- but which?

A member of the genus " Bacillus ", " B . subtilis " is rod-shaped, and can form a tough, protective endospore, allowing it to tolerate extreme environmental conditions . " B . subtilis " has historically been classified as an obligate aerobe, though evidence exists that it is a facultative aerobe . " B . subtilis " is considered the best studied Gram-positive bacterium and a model organism to study bacterial chromosome replication and cell differentiation.
