Bioconversion refers to the process by which microorganisms convert organic waste materials into useful compounds. However, there are several synonyms for this term, including biotransformation, biodegradation, and bioremediation. These terms all refer to the process of using living organisms to break down and transform organic matter into something else. Another synonym for bioconversion is biocatalysis, which refers to the use of enzymes produced by microorganisms to catalyze chemical reactions. These terms are often used interchangeably in the field of biotechnology and are all equally important in the development of sustainable and innovative solutions for waste management and the production of energy and other valuable products.
