– Bahut acidic ya basic environment bacteria ko mar sakta hai.
5. Nutrient Availability
– Bacteria ko carbon ke sath nitrogen, phosphorus bhi chahiye hota hai.
– Agar nutrients kam hain to growth slow ho jaata hai.
6. Toxic Substances
– Agar waste me heavy metals ya pesticides hain to wo bacteria ko damage karte hain.

Conclusion:

Biodegradation ek natural process hai, lekin uski speed environment ke factors pe depend karti
hai. In factors ko control karke waste treatment ko better banaya ja sakta hai.
