Attack by living microorganisms causes degradation of organic material. Biodegradation occurs in aqueous systems (process water and waste water), particularly in effluent treatment systems, in soils, or during composting of organic matter. Depending on the local encironment and the species of microorganisms, a distinction occurs between anaerobic and aerobis degradation.
