pedantic offtopic: "forming little anaerobic pockets of lactic acid poison" Aerobic metabolism is actually worse than anaerobic metabolism. Anaerobic conditions tend to result in fermentation by fungi and other incomplete metabolism by bacteria. We even recycle lactic acid because it is energy rich. Aerobic metabolism has "toxic" results= CO2, Sulfur gases, Urea, phosphorous compounds. Very energy depleted molecules that only specialized organism can process. For anaerobic bacteria, Bacteroides and Clostridium come to mind. Everything else I can think of CAN thrive in aerobic conditions: Mycobacterium, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia , Salmonella...
