In wastewater treatment the absence of oxygen is indicated as ''anoxic''; and ''anaerobic'' is used to indicate the absence of a common electron acceptor such as nitrate, sulfate or oxygen. An '''anaerobic''' [[adhesive]] is a bonding agent that does not cure in the presence of air. '''Anaerobic''' refers to: *[[Anaerobic clarigester]], is a form of anaerobic digester *[[Anaerobic contact process]], is a type of anaerobic digester *[[Anaerobic digestion]], (AD) is the harnessed and contained, naturally occurring process of anaerobic decomposition *Anaerobic environment, an aquatic environment with little available oxygen - see [[Hypoxia (environmental)]] *[[Anaerobic exercise]], a form of exercise *[[Anaerobic filter]] *Anaerobic glycolysis, the conversion from sugar to alcohol using yeast - see [[Fermentation (biochemistry)]] *[[Anaerobic lagoon]], used to dispose of animal waste, particularly that of cows and pigs *[[Anaerobic organism]], any organism that does not require oxygen for growth *[[Anaerobic respiration]], oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen monoxide *Anaerobic ammonium oxidation, [[anammox]], the microbial process combining [[ammonium]] and [[nitrite]]. {{disambig}} [[es:Anaeróbico]] [[id:Anaerobik]] [[nl:anaeroob]] [[tr:Anaerobik]]
