Question

You argue with your boss, saying that your knowledge of biochemistry tells you that this mutant strain will not be viable. Your boss tells you that the mutant will grow aerobically (in the presence of oxygen) but that it will not be able to grow on glucose anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen). You reconsider, and decide that your boss is correct.
