Toxicology
Biodegradation is the process by which organic substances are broken down by the enzymatic action of living organisms, primarily microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. This natural process plays a crucial role in the environment as it helps to recycle nutrients and reduce the accumulation of toxic compounds, thus influencing the fate and transport of toxicants in ecosystems.
