What is the function of anaerobic micro-organisms such as anaerobic bacteria in a biogas plant?

In a biogas plant, the function of anaerobic micro-organisms such as anaerobic bacteria is the degradation of animal wastes (cow-dung) in the presence of water but in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation

The term 'Anaerobic' means occurring in the absence of oxygen or not require oxygen to survive and grow. So, "Anaerobic bacteria" are those bacteria that do not live or grow when oxygen is present. In humans, these bacteria are usually found in the gastrointestinal tract.
