Biodegradation: Involved Microorganisms and Genetically Engineered Microorganisms
TLDR
In most cases the term biodegradation is generally used to describe almost any biologically mediated change in a substrate, and the process is called "mineralization".Abstract:
Biodegradation is defined as the biologically catalyzed reduction in complexity of chemical compounds [1]. Indeed, biodegradation is the process by which organic substances are broken down into smaller compounds by living microbial organisms [2]. When biodegradation is complete, the process is called "mineralization". However, in most cases the term biodegra‐ dation is generally used to describe almost any biologically mediated change in a substrate [3].read more

A review of the biochemistry of heavy metal biosorption by brown algae
TL;DR: The emphasis is on outlining the biochemical properties of the brown algae that set them apart from other algal biosorbents, including alginate and fucoidan, which are chiefly responsible for heavy metal chelation.
