Is Borrelia Burgdorferi aerobic or anaerobic?

Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease, is a microaerophilic organism, meaning it requires low levels of oxygen for growth. It does not thrive in fully aerobic or anaerobic environments. Instead, it prefers environments with reduced oxygen levels, which is typical of its natural habitats, such as the intestines of ticks.
