Bioconversion is a research field and methodological approach dedicated to the transformation of organic and inorganic substrates into different chemical forms or energy through the action of biological systems. Similar to the controlled energy conversions seen in nuclear reactors described in the provided context, bioconversion investigates the biological pathways and agents, such as microorganisms and enzymes, capable of catalyzing these transformations to yield valuable products, highlighting its significance in sustainable resource utilization, waste valorization, and the development of bio-based industries.
