Detailed explanation-1: -Obligate anaerobes, which live only in the absence of oxygen, do not possess the defenses that make aerobic life possible and therefore cannot survive in air.
Detailed explanation-2: -Peptostreptococcus, Clostridium, and actinomyces are examples of obligate anaerobes. Aerotolerant anaerobes: they can tolerate oxygen for a limited period of time ranging from 8 to 72 hours. But they are unable to grow in the presence of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic Bacteria Examples Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas, Prevotella, Actinomyces, Propionibacterium, Clostridia, etc are the examples of such bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria are medically significant as they cause many infections in the human body.
