what is an example of an anaerobic environment?

Answer 1

Er, right in our body. When we exercise, we consume a lot of energy and not much oxygen reaches our muscles to break the stored food down, therefore, the muscle cells are constantly in the lack of oxygen when we are exercising, giving a perfect example of an anaerobic environment.

Water contains dissolved oxygen. In addition the water would affect the growth of the bacteria in other ways - for example they may be affected by osmotic pressure. The simple way to create an anaerobic environment to grow bacteria is simply to seal the lid of the petri dish. The culture of bacteria will quickly use up the small amount of oxygen inside the petri dish. Those bacteria which cannot survive anaerobic conditions will then die and the anaerobic bacteria will grow. This is why school students are taught to only hold the lid of the petri dish down in two or three places with sticky tape - thereby allowing some oxygen in. By wrapping tape all the way round and creating a seal they produce anaerobic conditions in which potentially harmful anaerobic bacteria may grow - which are regarded as a biohazard in a school environment under CLEAPPS safety protocols.

Answer 5

In an aquarium, the oxygen depleted layer of the gravel bed where denitrification occurs is often referred to as an anaerobic environment.

This layer may not remain perfectly free of oxygen, but as heterotrophs break down solid waste particles and consume oxygen the anaerobic bacteria colony ebbs and flows in an inverse relationship to the changing oxygen levels deep in the substrate.

Answer 6

The environment without oxygen is called as anaerobic environment...the best example is wound infected with skin, it creates anaerobic environment for organisms to grow...and causes pus...other example is biofilm formation on machines or water logged areas...

hope that helps!!!

Answer 7

Micro environment where organic matter is being degraded and /or iron is being oxidized is always anaerobic. So you ind that anaerobic microbes grow in such natural environments in soil and water.

Answer 8

Anaerobic means "without air." An example of that type of environment would be a vacuum or outer space.

Answer 9

an anaerobic environmet is a place without oxygen. e.g anaerobic bacteria can transfer from soil to a horses hoof and can eat away at the horny wall.so all affected areas need exposed to air to kill the bacteria. farrier si

Answer 10

an example of an anaerobic environment is the stomach of cattle. stomach of cattle has four chambers and rumen is one of them. in the rumen various microbes which can grow in the absence of oxygen can grow. example is RUMINICOCCUS ALBUS which produces cellulase enzyme to digest cellulose present in the fodder.
