Biodegradability

Biodegradability is the capacity for natural declination of organic accoutrements by living organisms down to the base substances similar as water, carbon dioxide, methane, introductory rudiments and biomass. Biodegradability of biosurfactants is an important point in the evaluation of the environmental threat associated with their use. In general, biodegradation of surfactants is intermediated by microorganisms using the surfactant as a source of carbon and energy.
