Biodegradation Assays

Biodegradation Assays is a standardized experimental methodology used in environmental microbiology and ecotoxicology to quantitatively assess the susceptibility of organic substances to microbial degradation under controlled conditions, thereby distinguishing it from related analytical tests by its specific focus on the rate and extent of biological breakdown in environmental matrices.
