It means that yeast can switch between aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) metabolism depending on the availability of oxygen in its environment. In the presence of oxygen, yeast will metabolize sugars using aerobic respiration, but in the absence of oxygen, it will use fermentation to generate energy.
