DMPQ- How do extremophiles like some bacteria and archaeans survive in environments without oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and involves the consumption of another molecule (nitrate, sulfur, iron, carbon dioxide, etc.) instead of oxygen. Unlike in fermentation, anaerobic respiration involves the formation of an electrochemical gradient by an electron transport system that results in the production of a number of ATP molecules. Unlike in aerobic respiration, the final … Read more DMPQ- How do extremophiles like some bacteria and archaeans survive in environments without oxygen?
