anaerobic infection,

an infection caused by an anaerobic organism such as Clostridium, usually occurring in deep puncture wounds that exclude air or in tissue that has diminished oxygen-reduction potential as a result of trauma, necrosis, or overgrowth of bacteria. Examples of anaerobic infection are gangrene and tetanus.

anaerobic

the absence of air.

anaerobic bacteria

see anaerobe.

anaerobic effluent treatment

is usually conducted in deep ponds where air does not penetrate. A fully contained system is also available.

anaerobic exercise

exercise at high work intensity during which the needs of muscle metabolism for oxygen exceeds the capacity of the circulation to supply it and an oxygen debt is incurred.
