== Examples ==
Among organisms, almost all animals, most [[Fungus|fungi]], and several [[bacteria]] are obligate aerobes.<ref name=":0" /> Examples of obligately aerobic bacteria include ''[[Mycobacterium tuberculosis]]'' ([[Acid-fastness|acid-fast]]),<ref name=":0" /><ref name="Levinson, W. 2010 150-157">{{cite book |author=Levinson, W. |title=Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology| publisher = McGraw-Hill |year=2010 |edition=11th |pages=150–157| isbn = 978-0-07-174268-9}}</ref> ''[[Bacillus]]'' ([[Gram-positive bacteria|Gram-positive]]),<ref name=":0" /> and ''[[Nocardia asteroides]]'' ([[Gram-positive bacteria|Gram-positive]]).<ref name=":0" /><ref name="Sherris">{{cite book | editor = Ryan KJ | editor2 = Ray CG | title = Sherris Medical Microbiology | edition = 4th | publisher = McGraw Hill | year = 2004 | pages= 460–462| isbn = 0-8385-8529-9 }}</ref>  With the exception of the [[yeasts]], most [[fungus|fungi]] are obligate aerobes.<ref name="PHK" />  Also, almost all [[algae]] are obligate aerobes.<ref name="PHK" />

A unique obligate aerobe is ''[[Streptomyces coelicolor]]'' which is [[Gram-positive bacteria|gram-positive]], soil-dwelling, and belongs to the [[phylum]] [[Actinomycetota]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last1=Fischer|first1=Marco|last2=Alderson|first2=Jesse|last3=van Keulen|first3=Geertje|last4=White|first4=Janet|last5=Sawers|first5=R.
