microaerophile

mi·cro·aer·o·phil

, microaerophile (mī'krō-ār'ō-fil, -fīl), 1. An aerobic bacterium that requires oxygen, but less than is present in the air, and grows best under modified atmospheric conditions. 2. Relating to such an organism. Synonym(s): microaerophilic, microaerophilous [micro- + G. aēr, air, + philos, fond]

microaerophile

An anaerobic bacterium which requires O2 only as a terminal electron acceptor. Microaerophiles grow poorly at ambient (21% O2) levels and therefore do not grow on the surface of culture plates; they also grow poorly in anaerobic conditions.
Example
Campylobacter jejuni grows optimally at 5% O2 (10% CO2 and 85% N2).
