Anaerobic growth

Correct - Aerobic growth is more energy efficient (produces more ATP) than anaerobic growth, resulting in higher yield coefficients. 

Microorganisms under anaerobic growth conditions have the ability to utilise glucose by the Embden-Mereyhof-Parnas pathway.4 Carbohydrates are phosphorylated through the metabolic pathway the end products are two moles of ethanol and carbon dioxide.5... 

A related organism, CL botulinum, produces a similar toxin which may contaminate food if the organism has grown in it and conditions are favourable for anaerobic growth. Meat pastes and pates are likely sources. This toxin interferes with acetylcholine release at cholinergic syrrapses and also acts at neuromuscular jimctions. Death fiom this toxin eventually results firm respiratory failure. 

Although the metabolism of tetrathionate has not been established in detail, it presumably takes place via thiosulfate, sulhte, and sulhde. Tetrathionate, which is a component of some media for enrichment of salmonellas, is able to support the anaerobic growth of Salmonella sp. using glycerol or acetate, and S. enterica with ethanolamine or propan-l,2-diol when vitamin Bj2 is available (Price-Carter et al. 2001).

The selenate reductase from Enterobacter cloacae SLDla-1 functions only under aerobic conditions, and is not able to serve as an electron acceptor for anaerobic growth, in contrast to the periplasmic enzyme from Thauera selenatis (Schroder et al. 1997). In E. cloacae there are separate nitrate and selenate reductases, both of which are membrane-bound. The selenate reductase is able to reduce chlorate and bromate though not nitrate, contains Mo, heme and nonheme iron, and consists of three subunits in an a3p3y3 configuration.

Desulfitobacterium chlororespirans can use ortho-substituted phenols as electron acceptors for anaerobic growth, and is able to debrominate 2,6-dibromo-4-cyanophenol (Bromoxynil) and 2,6-dibromo-4-carboxyphenol. In contrast, 2,6-diiodo-4-cyanophenol (loxynil) was deiodinated only in the presence of 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoate (Cupples et al. 2005).

As noted earlier, sulfate is generated when sulfide is the electron donor for anaerobic growth of purple and green photosynthetic bacteria.

Fluid thioglycolate medium for detection of anaerobic growth... 

The fact that the cytochrome P-450 was induced even in the presence of NH3, which is the end product of assimilatory N-oxide reductions, suggested that it might funciton in dissimilatory N-oxide reductions. Anaerobic growth experiments with induced cells showed that reduction of nitrate to nitrite was energy yielding in F. oxysporum but reduction of nitrite to N2O was probably not (Shoun and Tanimoto, 1991). 

Alternate (NIH) thioglycollate (if an anaerobic growth medium is desired)... 

The ethanol yield, V[ ,0[, (g/g), was calculated as the produced ethanol after the depletion of glucose and mannose divided by the amount of consumed fermentable sugar (glucose and mannose). The anaerobic growth yield, Yx (g/ g), hereafter referred to as the biomass yield, was calculated as the produced biomass in 36 h divided by the amount of fermentable sugars initially present.
