anaerobic degradation
|
The anaerobic degradation pathway of organic matter is a multi step process of series and parallel reactions. This process of organic matter degradation proceeds in four successive stages, namely (1) Hydrrolysis, (2) Acidogenesis, (3) Acetogenesis and (4) Methanogenesis. The processes are discussed below (see figure 1). Figure 1: Anaerobic Microbiology
