Anaerobic Biodegradation: Microbial Degradation in the Absence of Oxygen
Received Date: Mar 03, 2024 / Published Date: Mar 30, 2024
Abstract
Anaerobic biodegradation is a crucial biochemical process wherein microorganisms break down organic compounds in the absence of oxygen. Unlike aerobic degradation, which utilizes oxygen as the primary electron acceptor, anaerobic degradation employs alternative electron acceptors such as nitrate, sulfate, or carbon dioxide. This manuscript delves into the mechanisms, types, and significance of anaerobic biodegradation in environmental and industrial contexts.
