 | | Obligate anaerobes will die when exposed to atmospheric levels of oxygen, while facultative anaerobes can use oxygen when it is present. |
 | | 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. |
