anaerobic respiration

Some, light in colour, rely heavily upon anaerobic respiration.

Once that happens, nearby cells switch to anaerobic respiration, burning fat for energy.

The list of these microorganisms that employ anaerobic respiration though is growing by the minute.

Due to the lack of oxygen, this pathway is described as anaerobic respiration.

Assimilative pathways for many forms of anaerobic respiration are also known.

Carbon Dioxide is a main product of anaerobic respiration within the lagoon.

They therefore deplete the soil of oxygen and create the need for anaerobic respiration.

Indeed, some animal tissues still practise anaerobic respiration - including muscle fibres, for short periods.

Use of glucose as an energy source in cells is via aerobic or anaerobic respiration.

Methanogenesis in microbes is a form of anaerobic respiration.

This allows plants to grow without incurring the metabolic costs of anaerobic respiration.

Prokaryotes are among the cells that have anaerobic respiration as metabolic strategy for survival.

This indicates high levels of anaerobic respiration.

Normally, E. coli switches to anaerobic respiration when encountered with a significant temperature change.

Anaerobic respiration is used mainly by prokaryotes that live in environments devoid of oxygen.

They are obligately aerobic, but some can undergo anaerobic respiration if nitrate is present.

Furthermore, they share an archaeal property, the ability to reduce elemental sulfur by anaerobic respiration in the dark.

Specific types of anaerobic respiration are also used to convert toxic chemicals into less-harmful molecules.

In prokaryotes, multiple electron acceptors can be used in anaerobic respiration.

Mycoprotein is produced by anaerobic respiration or fermentation.

By adapting to these hostile situations, mangrove ants have developed the ability to switch to anaerobic respiration.

Anaerobic respiration is a form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen.

Anaerobic respiration is, therefore, in general energetically less efficient than aerobic respiration.

Chemolithotrophs use the above-mentioned inorganic compounds for aerobic or anaerobic respiration.

In a sense, these organisms "breathe" sulfate rather than oxygen, in a form of anaerobic respiration.
