Biodegradation is the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. It is generally assumed to be a natural process, which differentiates it from composting. Biodegradation can be aerobic (contaminant as the electron donor (and/or source of carbon), anaerobic (contaminant as the electron acceptor and/or source of carbon).
