Can bacteria found in bread be categorized into facultative anaerobes?

Nope, Because it is Not a Bacterium, a Yeast, but, if I Remember Correctly, Facultative.

Can bacteria found in bread be categorized into facultative anaerobes?
Not really....what you are probably thinking of is yeast, which is a fungus, which bakers will use to make the bread rise. Yeast is a facultative anaerobe, because it can live off anaerobic fermentation as well as aerobic respiration. While there are bound to be plenty of bacteria on the bread, you can't really tell anything about them.
