兼性厌氧菌在严格的厌氧条件下生长的环境还远不清楚。众所周知，碳水化合物的存在能够被生物体攻击，有利于厌氧生长；Ritter[1907]发现，除碳水化合物外，一些较高级的醇和羟基酸也是有效的。已发现硝酸盐可诱导兼性厌氧菌的厌氧生长[Ritter, 1907；Veillon和Maze， 1910]和Beijerinck[1903]已经意识到从硝酸盐和硫酸盐氧化中释放的能量可能被微生物用于生长的可能性。自从1868年Schonbein发现细菌将硝酸盐还原为亚硝酸盐的现象以来，积累了大量的数据。Maassen[1901]表明，在109种被测试的细菌中，有85种会导致这种减少。今天，人们普遍认为，硝酸盐还原的生物学意义在于，当游离氧不再可用时，它向生物体提供了氧气。然而，这些事实在某种程度上是不连贯的，并且似乎没有对兼性厌氧菌厌氧生长的条件进行系统的分析。
THE circumstances in which the facultative anaerobes will grow under strictly anaerobic conditions are far from clear. It is known that the presence of carbohydrates capable of attack by the organism in question favours anaerobic growth; Ritter [1907] has found that, besides carbohydrates, some of the higher alcohols and hydroxy acids are efficient. Nitrates have been found to induce anaerobic growth of facultative anaerobes [Ritter, 1907; Veillon and Maze, 1910] and Beijerinck [1903] has perceived the possibility that the liberation of energy from nitrate and sulphate oxidations might be utilised by micro-organisms for growth. Amass of data has accumulatedon the bacterial reduction of nitrates to nitrites since the discovery of the phenomenon by Schonbein in 1868. Maassen [1901] has shown that 85 out of109 types of bacteria tested will bring about the reduction. It is generally accepted to-day that the biological significance of the reduction of nitrate is that by it oxygen is supplied toan organism when free oxygen is no longer available. The facts, however, are somewhat disconnected and little systematic analysis of the conditions under which anaerobic growth of the facultative anaerobes occurs appears to have beenattempted.
