anaerobic
Lacking free oxygen
Anaerobic describes biological processes that occur without oxygen, or organisms that can live in oxygen-free environments.
Anaerobic bacteria thrive in places like deep soil or the human gut.
Anaerobic exercise—sprinting, weightlifting—relies on energy sources other than oxygen: I do anaerobic training twice a week.
The opposite is aerobic.
