mostly they die. oxygen is highly reactive and creates free radicals which destroy cell membranes. by the way the very same process is killing us slowly day by day, cell by cell... take a breath :)
E. Coli can be but only in oxygen free conditions. Normally it is aerobic.
Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made
Anaerobic means without oxygen. Those are anaerobic bacteria.
Dead... A person cannot perform respiration without oxygen. Anaerobic means without oxygen or air. A person that is anaerobic for too long will begin to pass out and later die from lack of oxygen. Certain animals, bacteria, and viruses are anaerobic, but humans are not.
Lactic acid fermentation is basically anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen. Thus, it is a way of life in anaerobic organisms. Even in aerobic organisms, anaerobic respiration takes place when the concentration of oxygen is low. Thus it also helps anaerobic organisms to survive.
The opposite of anaerobic is aerobic. Anaerobic processes occur without oxygen, while aerobic processes require oxygen.
Anaerobic
It is poisoned by oxygen

An anaerobic species is one that does not live in oxygen-rich settings. Anaerobic means that the organism does not need oxygen to live.
No - glycolysis is anaerobic (it does occur in the presence of oxygen).
Anaerobically refers to a process or organism that operates without the presence of oxygen. This can occur in situations where oxygen is not available, such as in deep ocean environments or during intense exercise when muscles rely on anaerobic metabolism.
If an organism performs cellular respiration without oxygen, it undergoes anaerobic respiration. This process yields less ATP compared to aerobic respiration and produces lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts. Anaerobic respiration is less efficient because oxygen is not available to act as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Archaebacteria called extremeophiles have some species that live entirely anaerobically. Bacteria [and other organisms] that respire using O2 as the 'final' electron acceptor are termed to be Aerobic, while bacteria [and the odd organism] that has the biochemical capacity to Live without O2 are termed to be Anaerobic.
A facultative anaerobe is an organism that can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. These organisms have metabolic flexibility and can switch between aerobic and anaerobic pathways depending on the environmental conditions. Examples include E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Anaerobic bacteria or facultative anaerobic bacteria.
When there is no oxygen, or the organism cannot use oxygen for respiration.
