Final answer:

Microaerophiles are microbes that grow best at low oxygen levels and prefer environments with lower levels of oxygen than the normal atmospheric conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Microaerophiles are microbes that grow best at low oxygen levels.

These bacteria prefer environments with lower levels of oxygen than the normal atmospheric conditions.

They may also have a requirement for increased levels of carbon dioxide.

Microaerophiles make ATP by aerobic respiration and may also ferment sugars aerobically.
