Why will obligate anaerobes grow in thioglycollate?

Obligate anaerobes do not need or use oxygen as a nutrient. In fact it is a toxic substance to them which either kills or inhibits their growth. Thioglycollate allows obligate anaerobes to grow because it consists of sodium thioglycollate, thioglycollic acid and L-crystine which reduce oxygen to water. This creates an anaerobic environment allowing obligate anaerobes to grow.
