	Anaerobic Respiration - MSN Encarta
		Anaerobic Respiration, also called anaerobiosis, biochemical process in living things whereby sugars and similar substances, resulting from the digestion of food, are broken down to release energy in the absence of oxygen.
		Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and releases only a small proportion of the total energy contained in the fuel molecules such as glucose sugar, yielding up to 8 molecules of the high-energy ATP.
		These are called facultative anaerobes and include yeasts and other fungi, bacteria, parts of plants such germinating seeds and waterlogged roots, certain worms and similar animals found in stagnant water or at the bottom of the sea, and mammalian muscle cells.

	Differential Media - Oxygen Relationships
		Some are capable of growing aerobically by respiring with oxygen and anaerobically by fermentation [anaerobic respiration is also possible]; others have a strictly fermentative type of metabolism and do not respire with oxygen.
		Some anaerobes may have a fermentative type of metabolism; others may carry out anaerobic respiration in which a terminal electron acceptor other than oxygen is used.
		As one example, the purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria can respire and can also grow anaerobically, but anaerobic growth is associated with the organisms' use of energy derived from light, not (except for certain exceptional strains and species) from fermentation or anaerobic respiration.

	SparkNotes: Glycolysis: Anaerobic Respiration: Homolactic Fermentation
		However, immediately upon finishing glycolysis, the cell must continue respiration in either an aerobic or anaerobic direction; this choice is made based on the circumstances of the particular cell.
		If a cell able to perform aerobic respiration is in a situation where there is no oxygen (such as muscles under extreme exertion), it will move into a type of anaerobic respiration called homolactic fermentation.
		In both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, the NADH molecule is part of the enzyme complex and must be restored to its NAD, oxidized state.

	Anaerobic respiration (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In medical parlance, anaerobic respiration is used for carbohydrate metabolism in the absence of oxygen.
		In the biological sense, anaerobic respiration is defined as a membrane bound biological process coupling the oxidation of electron donating substrates (e.g.
		Possible electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration are nitrate, nitrite, nitrous oxide, oxidised amines and nitro-compounds, fumarate, oxidised metal ions, sulfate, sulfoxo-compounds or carbon dioxide (in acetogenesis and methanogenesis).

	anaerobic respiration
		Anaerobic respiration in humans is less efficient than aerobic respiration at releasing energy, but releases energy faster (see respiration).
		In plants, yeasts, and bacteria, anaerobic respiration results in the production of alcohol and carbon dioxide, a process that is exploited by both the brewing and the baking industries (see fermentation).
		Although anaerobic respiration is a primitive and inefficient form of energy release, deriving from the period when oxygen was missing from the atmosphere, it can also be seen as an adaptation.

	Spartanburg SC \| GoUpstate.com \| Spartanburg Herald-Journal
		Anaerobic respiration is often used interchangeably with fermentation, especially when the glycolytic pathway is used for energy production in the cell.
		In this case, anaerobic respiration is defined as a membrane bound biological process coupling the oxidation of electron donating substrates (e.g.
		In anaerobic respiration, as the electrons from the electron donor are transported down the electron transport chain to the terminal electron acceptor, protons are translocated over the membrane from "inside" to "outside", establishing a concentration gradient across the membrane which temporarily stores the energy released in the chemical reactions.

		Anaerobic bacteria and archaea use these and many other fermentative pathways, e.g., propionic acid fermentation, butyric acid fermentation, solvent fermentation, mixed acid fermentation, butanediol fermentation, Stickland fermentation, acetogenesis or methanogenesis.
		Some anaerobic bacteria produce toxins (e.g., tetanus or botulinum toxins) that are highly dangerous to higher organisms, including humans.
		Obligate (strict) anaerobes die in presence of oxygen due to the absence of the enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase which would convert the lethal superoxide formed in their cells due to the presence of oxygen.

	Nutrition and Cultivation of Bacteria - Page 1
		The common laboratory test for "oxygen relationships" determines if an organism (able to grow under the conditions given) can respire (aerobically) or ferment and is generally used to describe and compare chemoheterotrophic bacteria.
		Without glucose, a "facultative anaerobe" (as "officially" defined here) would not be able to grow anaerobically, and an "aerotolerant anaerobe" (also as defined) would probably not be able to grow at all.
		An organism which is not fermenting glucose may still be able to grow in the medium by respiring the glucose and/or one or more of the amino acids in the peptone.

	Bact. 102: Catabolism and Oxygen Relationships
		To make a long story short, we can use the example of a typical fermentation pathway (stepwise/sequential chain of chemical reactions) where glucose is oxidized to pyruvate (the oxidation stage of the pathway) and pyruvate is then reduced to fermentation products such as lactic acid (the reduction stage of the pathway).
		Secondarily, the oxygen relationship designations derived from the growth observations (strict aerobe, facultative anaerobe, etc.) can be helpful in comparative studies of the physiologies of these organisms.
		Note that a positive catalase reaction correlates with the ability to respire (aerobic respiration) and also with sensitivity to sodium azide; azide inhibits iron-porphyrin compounds such as cytochromes and catalase – both associated with respiration.
