AnaerobesMicroorganisms that grow in the absence of atmospheric oxygen. Clostridium botulinum, the cause of botulism food poisoning, is an example of a strict anaerobe because it will grow only in the absence of oxygen. E. coli is a facultative anaerobe because it will grow with or without oxygen present.
