Do anaerobes need oxygen to survive?

Answer:

No, anaerobes do not require oxygen to survive, for they do not carry out cellular respiration with oxygen as the final electron acceptor. Rather, they typically carry out either fermentation or anaerobic respiration, which requires no oxygen, but still provides a small amount of energy.
