Anaerobic respiration

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is a relatively fast reaction and produces 2 ATP, which is far fewer than aerobic respiration.

and hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria (H2S) comprise various groups of bacteria and archaea that obtain energy by reducing various compounds that possess sulfur in their molecule, including organic compounds (sulfur amino acids) and inorganic compounds with oxidized sulfur (such as sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate
