👉 Anaerotaenia is a type of bacteria that lives in anaerobic environments, such as soil or water, where oxygen levels are low. They use organic matter and waste products from living organisms for energy production. These bacteria can survive on a wide range of substrates, including dead plants, animal feces, and urine. Anaerotaenia is commonly found in the environment around food sources like soil and sewage treatment facilities, but it can also be isolated or cultured to study their functions.
