Detailed explanation-2: -The bacteria which grow in the absence of oxygen are called anaerobic bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria that grow only in the absence of oxygen, such as Clostridium, Bacteroides, and the methane-producing archaea (methanogens), are called obligate anaerobes because their energy-generating metabolic processes are not coupled with the consumption of oxygen.
