ya I figured that out but it is used wrong..
anoxic is water with no dissolved O2, not to be used for a description of a organism. when talking about bacteria (or an organism) that lives in low or no O2 levels we should use Anaerobic, which means without oxygen. More specifically, it refers to occurring or living without oxygen present.
thats why it has always confused me when people use the anoxic bacteria term as it is not quite right and throws me off.
