Scow, K.M., Rate of biodegradation, in Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods Environmental Behavior of Organic Compounds, Lyman, W. J., Reehl, W.F., and Rosenblatt, D.H., Eds., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1982, pp. 9-1-9-85. 

This volume of The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry is very important as it includes different biodegradation methods with different microorganism groups. Integration of biological processes with physical and chemical processes are also given in this volume. Several biodegradation methods can be found in this one book and it is possible to compare these methods. All the chapters in this volume have been written by authors who are experts in the field.
