I am sorry Tdvsko but bacteria does NOT grow without oxygen. Nothing grows without oxygen.

Except Anaerobic bacteria

An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth. It may react negatively or even die if oxygen is present, which means that it can perform its bodily functions better in the absence of oxygen. An anaerobic organism may be unicellular or multicellular (like metazoa or more complex organisms like deep sea worms). A few parasites like Trichinella spiralis (pork worm) respire anaerobically in nurse cells (infected cell playing host to the juvenile parasite).[which?] Some largely unicellular anaerobic microbes are protozoans, but most of the anaerobic microbes are bacteria or Archaea. For practical purposes there are three categories:
obligate anaerobes, which are harmed by the presence of oxygen
aerotolerant organisms, which cannot use oxygen for growth, but tolerate the presence of it
facultative anaerobes, which can grow without oxygen but can utilize oxygen if it is present

In human beings these organisms are usually found in the gastrointestinal tract.[1] Some anaerobic bacteria produce clinically important toxins (e.g., tetanus).
