Anaerobes are bacteria that are either capable of growing in the absence of oxygen (referred to as facultative anaerobes) or that absolutely require the absence of oxygen (these are called obligate anaerobes). Among the oxygen-free environments in...

An anaerobic infection is caused by bacteria which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. These bacteria are called anaerobic bacteria or anaerobes. Anaerobic bacteria can infect deep wounds, deep tissues, and internal organs where there is little...

Microorganisms which carry out their life processes without using dissolved molecular oxygen for food...

An anaerobic organism is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth and even dies in its...

Waste andwater treatment plants can minimize the toxic emissions generated by their operations using granular activated carbon (GAC) anaerobic reactors. Anaerobic methods were found to be more effective than aerobic methods in facilitating the decomposition of volatile organic compounds such as trichlorethylene and carbon...

This innovative technique for culturing anaerobes could lighten the microbiologist's workload and save time, money, and space as well. In today's world, the clinical microbiologist is faced with decreasing resources and an increasing workload, a situation common to many laboratories. Cultivation and...
