Anaerobic is a technical word which literally means without oxygen , as opposed to aerobic disambiguation aerobic . In wastewater treatment the absence of oxygen is indicated as anoxic and anaerobic is used to indicate the absence of a common electron acceptor such as nitrate , sulfate or oxygen.

Introduction Anaerobic lagoons or more correctly Anaerobic Treatment Lagoons are used to treat animal manures. Treatment of manure is accomplished by the dilution of manure with fresh water which promotes the conversion of the organic waste by microbes.

Commonly manure is removed from animal production barns by flushing ... before an anaerobic treatment lagoon.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Anaerobic glycolysis is the transformation of glucose to pyruvate when limited amounts of oxygen O sub 2 sub are available. Anaerobic glycolysis is only an effective means of energy production during short, intense exercise, providing energy for a period ranging from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. The anaerobic glycolysis lactic acid system is dominant from about 10 30 seconds during a maximal effort. It replenishes very quickly over this period and produces 2 Adenosine triphosphate ATP molecules per glucose molecule, or about 5 of glucose s energy potential 38 ATP molecules . The speed at which ATP is produced is about 100 times that of oxidative phosphorylation . The pH in the cytoplasm quickly drops when hydrogen ions accumulate in the muscle, eventually inhibiting enzymes involved in glycolosis. The burning sensation in muscles during hard exercise can be attributed to the production of hydrogen ions during a shift to anaerobic glycolysis as oxygen is converted to carbon dioxide by aerobic glycolysis faster than the body can replenish it. These hydrogen ions form a part of lactic acid along with lactate. The body falls back on this less efficient but faster method of producing ATP under low oxygen conditions. This is thought to have been the primary means of energy production in earlier organisms before oxygen was at high concentration in the atmosphere and thus would represent a more ancient form of energy production in cells. The liver later gets rid of this excess lactate by transforming it back into an important glycolytic intermediate called pyruvate . Aerobic glycolysis is a method employed by muscle cells for the production of lower intensity energy over a longer period of time. The process of converting the excess lactate back into pyruvate is known as the Cori cycle , and occurs in the heart.

Cleanup date August 2010 Anaerobic respiration is a form of Cellular respiration respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen. Although oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain it is Cellular respiration respiration without oxygen.

In aerobic organisms, this final electron acceptor is oxygen.

During AOM methane is oxidized with sulfate as the terminal electron acceptor CH sub 4 sub SO sub 4 sub sup 2 sup HCO sub 3 sub sup sup HS sup sup H sub 2 sub O According to current knowledge, AOM is mediated by a syntrophic consortium http www.thefreedictionary.com syntrophy of methanotrophic archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria . They often form small aggregates or sometimes voluminous mats. The archaeal partner is abbreviated ANME, which stands for anaerobic methanotroph . ANME s are very closely related to methanogenic archaea and recent investigations suggest that AOM is an enzymatic reversal of methanogenesis . It is still poorly understood how the syntrophic partners interact and which intermediates are exchanged between the archaeal and bacterial cell. The research on AOM is hindered by the fact that the responsible organisms have not been isolated. This is because these organisms show very slow growth rates with a minimum doubling time of a few months. Countless isolation efforts have not been able to isolate one of the anaerobic methanotrophs, a possible explanation can be that the ANME archaea and the SRB have an obligate syntrophic interaction and can therefore not be isolated individually.
