Pyruvate cannot be a final electron acceptor in bacterial aerobic or anaerobic respiration except Fe3+, rather, pyruvate is an electron donor. Whereas Sulfur is the electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration (respiration in absence of oxygen). Hydrogen ions, Fe3 + and oxygen are final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration. (Respiration in presence of oxygen).
