| anaerobic | 1. Lacking molecular oxygen. 2. Growing, living or occurring in the absence of molecular oxygen, pertaining to an anaerobe. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| anaerobic bacteria | Bacteria which thrive in the absence of oxygen. (27 Sep 1997) |
| anaerobic digester | This is a bioreactor foranaerobically digesting sewage-laced wastewater.In it, anaerobic bacteriaproduce a mix of methane and carbon dioxide, asmuch as 90% of the chemical energy in the wastewater can be converted to methane, which is typically exhausted continuously and collected for useas a fuel or for a reagent for other industrial chemical reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| anaerobic digestion | A biochemical process by which organic matter is decomposed by bacteria in the absence of oxygen, producing methane and other byproducts. (05 Dec 1998) |
| anaerobic respiration | Respiration under anaerobic conditions. The terminal electron acceptor, instead of oxygen in the case of regular respiration, can be: carbon dioxide, Fe2+, fumarate, nitrate, nitrite, nitrous oxide, sulphur, sulphate, etc. Note that anaerobic respiration still uses the electron transport chain to dump the electron while fermentation does not. (09 Oct 1997) |
| anaerobic threshold | The oxygen consumption level above which aerobic energy production is supplemented by anaerobic mechanisms during exercise, resulting in a sustained increase in lactate concentration and metabolic acidosis. The anaerobic threshold is affected by factors that modify oxygen delivery to the tissues; it is low in patients with heart disease. Methods of measurement include direct measure of lactate concentration, direct measurement of bicarbonate concentration, and gas exchange measurements. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative anaerobic bacteria | <microbiology> A large group of anaerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative anaerobic cocci | <microbiology> A group of anaerobic coccoid bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative anaerobic straight, curved, and helical rods | <microbiology> A group of anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative facultatively anaerobic rods | <microbiology> A large group of facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| basal metabolism | <biochemistry, biology> Heat production, or its measurement, of an organism at the lowest level of cell chemistry in an inactive, awake, fasting state. It may be determined directly by means of a calorimeter or indirectly by calculating the heat production from an analysis of the end products of oxidation within the organism or from the amount of oxygen utilised. (27 Jun 1999) |
| calcium metabolism | A set of biochemical processes which act to keep the level of calcium in the blood at a constant level, with enough around to build bones and teeth. (09 Oct 1997) |
| calcium metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of calcium in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbohydrate metabolism | <biochemistry> The breakdown of starches and sugars into smaller units that can be used by the body for energy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| respiratory metabolism | The exchange of respiratory gases in the lungs, oxidation of foodstuffs in the tissues, and production of carbon dioxide and water. (05 Mar 2000) |
