👉 Anaerophaga is a type of bacteria that lives in aquatic environments, typically in bodies of water like lakes and rivers but can also inhabit freshwater or seawater. They are known for their ability to survive on relatively low-oxygen levels, often due to the presence of oxygen-depleting substances such as nitrates or nitrites in the water. Anaerophaga are characterized by their high metabolic rate and their ability to utilize organic matter from dead organisms or decomposing organic material in water
