Anaerobic is a technical word which literally means without air, as opposed to aerobic. The presence or absence of air, or more precisely the presence or absence of oxygen in the air, affects various chemical and biological reactions.

anaerobic -- Pertaining to the absence of free oxygen. Anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen for their life processes, in fact oxygen is toxic to many of them. Most anaerobic organisms are bacteria or archaeans.

Anaerobic
The absence of oxygen. Often used to describe an organism that is sensitive to oxygen or growth conditions without oxygen.

Anaerobic exercise
During vigorous exercise, oxygen is consumed faster than it is needed. Additional ATP energy is provided to the muscles by glycolysis and the result is a buildup of lactate in the muscles.

Anaerobic Gram-Positive Rods:
Clostridium tetani. Clostridia are spore-forming obligate anaerobes. The spores of C. tetani are widespread in the soil and often get into the body through wounds.

The anaerobic breakdown (that is, in the absence of oxygen) of carbohydrates, in which a molecule of glucose is converted by a series of steps to two molecules of lactic acid, yielding energy in the form of ATP.

alcohol fermentation The anaerobic conversion of glucose to ethanol via anaerobic glycolysis. See also fermentation.

Genes induced during anaerobic respiration included those involved in cofactor biosynthesis and assembly (moaACE, ccmHF, cysG), substrate transport (cysUP, cysTWA, dcuB), and anaerobic energy metabolism (dmsAB, psrC, pshA, hyaABC, hydABC).

Many bacteria are anaerobic and die almost immediately in the presence of oxygen.

These bacteria use sulfate as an electron acceptor instead of oxygen, in a form of metabolism known as anaerobic respiration. Hydrogen sulfide is generated in the process.
