Hydrocarbon Biodegradation is the process where microorganisms break down hydrocarbons, such as oil or gasoline, into less harmful substances. This natural or enhanced degradation process is used in bioremediation to treat soils or water contaminated with petroleum products. Effective biodegradation relies on providing optimal conditions for microbial growth and activity.
