  • Facultative anaerobes-these species can grow either with or without oxygen, but they only fix nitrogen anaerobically. (wikipedia.org)
  • Aerobes-these species require oxygen to grow, yet their nitrogenase is still debilitated if exposed to oxygen. (wikipedia.org)
  • Many other species also reduce the oxygen levels in this way, but with lower respiration rates and lower oxygen tolerance. (wikipedia.org)
  • UV-A is the least energetic of the three types of UV radiation (UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C), and it acts indirectly by creating reactive oxygen species (ROS). (ijpsr.com)
