Bioremediation and Biodegradation

Biodegradation is the process of microorganisms breaking down natural materials in the environment. It's a naturally catalysed reduction in the complexity of concoction blends. To be clear, biodegradation is the process by which live microbiological living creatures break down natural compounds into smaller mixtures. Mineralization is the process that occurs when biodegradation is complete. Bioremediation is a waste management technique that uses natural operators to remove toxins from the environment. It addresses a natural problem, such as contaminated soil or groundwater. In an uncontaminated environment, bacterial growths, and other microorganisms are constantly grinding away at natural matter, separating it.
