Processes reported in Table 1 are typically anaerobic (AN). In agreement with the observations reported by Wuhrmann et al. [49], azo-dye bioconversion occurs with the standard organism and other facultative or obligatory aerobic bacteria in exclusively anoxic conditions. Different methods can be used to establish the required anaerobic conditions. A common procedure is simply sparging oxygen-free gas... 

Biochemical conversion, or bioconversion, is a chemical reaction caused by treating moist biomass with microorganisms such as enzymes or fungi. The end products may be liquid or gaseous fuels. Anaerobic digestion and fermentation are the two processes used for biochemically... 

This section will provide a short description of two types of processes that rely on bioconversion based on prokaryotic mixed cultures anaerobic digestion for the production of methane (biomethanation) and mixed culture fermentation for the production of biohydrogen. Hydrogen production by photofermentation is also included in this section since, even if it requires a very specialized microbial consortium, it is performed under mixed non-sterile conditions. 

It should be noted that mineralization is correctly defined as a slow process that refers to the complete bioconversion of an organic compound to minerals such as carbon dioxide and / or methane (depending on aerobic or anaerobic environment), water, and mineral salts. Here, in accord with many generalizations in the polymer biodegradation arena, mineralization is used loosely to indicate complete or total removal from the...
