aerobic degradation

Aerobic degradation is a natural process where microorganisms like bacteria break down organic materials, such as plant and animal waste, using oxygen. This process occurs in environments with sufficient oxygen, such as compost heaps, soil, and wastewater treatment plants. The microorganisms consume the organic matter and convert it into simpler substances like water, carbon dioxide, and stable organic compounds. This process helps reduce waste, recycle nutrients, and minimize pollution, making it essential for waste management and environmental health. It’s a key natural mechanism for breaking down materials efficiently and sustainably.
