We opened a record number of new stores in 2012 and expect this to continue into 2013 and 2014 as well. For the last six quarters, on average our new store class consisted of 22 stores open for approximately six months.
anaerobe. an organism that lives and grows in the absence of molecular oxygen.(See accompanying table.) adj., adj anaeroÂ´bic. facultative anaerobe a microorganism that can live and grow with or without molecular oxygen. obligate anaerobe an organism that can grow only in the complete absence of molecular oxygen.
Obligate aerobes use oxygen as final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This gives them the advantage of producing more energy than other organisms that are not obligate aerobes.
