This species can use an organic compound as its final electron acceptor to produce acids in the anoxic tube. Fermentation or oxidative?

This species produces ammonia during its growth? Fermentation or oxidative?

It wasn't able to grow anaerobically.

The pH went down in both tubes.

The pH went up in the aerobic tube.
