If you burn a candle in the jar, it will use the oxygen as fuel and turn it into carbon dioxide. When the candle stops burning, the oxygen is gone.
A catalyst in the anaerobic jar permits oxygen to combine with hydrogen that comes from a gas generator producing CO2 and H2. Sodium thioglycollate is also used in growing anaerobes and microaerophiles because it sucks up oxygen.
TSA plates do not allow for the growth of anaerobes, becasue the entire culture is exposed to oxygen. So the TSA plates require the gaspak to provide an anaerobic condition. FTM does allow for the growth of anaerobes and aerobes. Anaerobes will be found deep in the soln. away from the oxygen, and aerobes will be found at the top, with facultatives inbetween.
If the methylene blue indicator strip turns blue inside the Gas Pak jar, it indicates that there is oxygen present in the jar. This could mean that the anaerobic conditions inside the jar have been compromised, and the contents may be exposed to oxygen, potentially affecting the growth of anaerobic organisms inside the jar.

anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
It is not a truly anaerobic system because there is still some oxygen in the candle jar.
A catalyst in the anaerobic jar permits oxygen to combine with hydrogen that comes from a gas generator producing CO2 and H2. Sodium thioglycollate is also used in growing anaerobes and microaerophiles because it sucks up oxygen.
The function of the catalyst is to stimulate the reaction of H2 with O2 to H2O. At the end of the anaerobic program on the Anoxomat, there is a little overpressure in the jar. After a few minutes the catalyst takes care that the pressure in the jar reduces and that there's no oxygen left.
