Anaerobe
An anaerobe is any micro-organism that can live and proliferate in an environment devoid of oxygen. Anaerobes can be divided into:
- facultative anaerobes which prefer oxygen-containing environments but can survive in anaerobic environments
- obligate anaerobes which can only survive in the absence of oxygen
Clostridium tetani is one example.
