biodegradate
Biodegradation refers to the natural process by which microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and other microbes break down organic substances into simpler, often harmless compounds like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. This process is a fundamental component of nutrient cycling in ecosystems, contributing to the decomposition of dead plants and animals, thereby recycling essential nutrients back into the environment.
The rate and efficiency of biodegradation depend on several factors, including the type of material, environmental
In contrast, non-biodegradable materials, like some synthetic plastics, resist breakdown and can persist in the environment
Biodegradation plays a critical role in waste management, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. Proper waste disposal practices,
