Schiefer-Ullrich H, JR Andreesen (1985) Peptostreptoccus barnesae sp. nov, a Gram-positive, anaerobic, obligately purine utilizing coccus from chicken feces. Arch Microbiol 143 26-31. 

Obligate a term applied to an organism which has a strict requirement for certain growth conditions, e.g. obligate anaerobic obligate autotroph. 

Clostridium. This geaus is comprised of a heterogeaeous assemblage of obligate, anaerobic, gram-positive, endospore-forming bacteria (21). 

Obligate aerobe Bacteria which require the presense of oxygen, such as Pseudomonas flourescens. A few strains of this species are capable of utilizing nitrate to allow anaerobic respiration. 

Studies on 4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase and 3,4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase have been restricted to obligate anaerobic bacteria, C. hydroxy-benzoicum Aside from the obligate anaerobic microorganism, C. hydroxy-benzoicum, very recently facultative anaerobic bacteria, Enterobacter cloacae strains exhibiting high 4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase or...
