Record 2 2011-06-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbial Ecology
  • Living Matter - General Properties
DEF

Said of a microorganism that lives and grows in the complete, or almost complete, absence of molecular oxygen.

PHR

Anaerobic bacterium, anaerobic microorganism.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écologie microbienne
  • Propriétés générales de la matière vivante
DEF

Qualifie un microorganisme qui vit et se développe en l'absence d'oxygène.

CONT

Les microorganismes anaérobies tirent l'énergie nécessaire à leur vie de substances organiques qu'ils décomposent.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Ecología microbiana
  • Propiedades generales de la materia viva
DEF

Se aplica a los organismos capaces de desarrollarse en un medio desprovisto del oxígeno del aire; por ejemplo, a ciertas bacterias que realizan la descomposición de las materias orgánicas en las fosas sépticas.

Record 3 2007-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physical Fitness Training and Bodybuilding
CONT

... AT is an extremely reliable and powerful predictor of performance in aerobic exercise.

CONT

The most accurate method of determining your anaerobic threshold (AT) is to visit a one of a number of establishments who can carry out a test under laboratory conditions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conditionnement physique et culturisme
CONT

L'intensité de l'effort où le sportif a quatre mmol de lactate dans le sang est appelée, par définition et statistiquement, seuil anaérobique.

Spanish

Record 4 2001-06-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Chemistry
CONT

Some organisms can respire in the absence of air: this is anaerobic respiration. This does not release so much energy and it produces much more toxic waste products [as opposed to aerobic respiration]. However, if oxygen is not available, anaerobic respiration is better than nothing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
  • Chimie
CONT

La respiration anaérobique, où il n'y a pas d'oxygène libre libéré, ne dégage qu'une faible quantité d'énergie. Certaines plantes supérieures peuvent survivre de courtes périodes grâce à la respiration anaérobique.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Microbiología y parasitología
  • Química
CONT

La respiración anaeróbica se produce sin la presencia del oxígeno libre; los productos finales de la respiración se componen de gas carbónico y algunos compuestos orgánicos simples, como el alcohol etílico (C2H5OH). En la respiración anaeróbica, el oxígeno también forma parte activa de las reacciones de oxidación; no obstante, las células no reciben el oxígeno desde el exterior, sino que éste se obtiene de la propia célula. Las fermentaciones son procesos de respiración anaeróbica.

Record 5 1998-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
CONT

Anaerobic organisms require an oxygen free environment to grow normally. Strict anaerobes are actually inhibited from growing in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobes represent 5-10% of all clinical infections. Areas of the body with normal amounts of anaerobic flora are the regions most susceptible to anaerobic infection. Anaerobic infections usually have the following characteristics: foul smelling discharge, proximity to mucosal membrane, necrotic tissue, gas formation in tissues or discharge infection following a bite.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines
DEF

Infection due à des germes ne pouvant se développer sur un milieu contenant plus de 20 % d'oxygène.

Spanish

Record 6 1997-01-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
  • Wastewater Treatment
  • Waste Management
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Animal wastes contain large amounts of organic matter which, if broken down by bacteria in the absence of oxygen, will produce significant quantities of methane gas. The bacterial action results in a form of biodegradation known as anaerobic decomposition.

CONT

Given a sufficient detention time in the aquatic plant system, the algae present in pond effluents either dies and settles to the bottom of the basin where it undergoes anaerobic decomposition or it is removed from the water column by the roots of the aquatic plant.

OBS

Compare with "anaerobic digestion".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
  • Traitement des eaux usées
  • Gestion des déchets
  • Biochimie
DEF

Décomposition et dégradation des matières organiques dans un milieu ne contenant pas d'oxygène dissous.

CONT

Le principe fondamental tient au fait que les déchets animaux contiennent de grandes quantités de matière organique qui, après dégradation biologique en l'absence d'oxygène (décomposition anaérobique), produisent d'importantes quantités de méthane.
