Best Answer

Some bacteria can live with or without oxygen, others can't live with oxygen. Oxygen is used for cellular respiration (breaking down substances, such as sugar, for energy); bacteria that survive without it can ferment organic substances or oxidize inorganic substances.

Some animals, such as moss piglets, can enter a state of suspended animation when conditions are bad and survive without food, water, or even oxygen until conditions are favorable again.

(Fish can get O2 straight out of the water, so they are technically breathing.)

There can be several in an ecosystem?

By its very definition an ecosystem requires several organisms. An ecosystem is a system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their physical environment. It is the very concept of all of the organisms and their interaction with the area in which they live. Without some organisms and an environment to interact with you don't have an ecosystem.
