Simulation of chemical metabolism for fate and hazard assessment. II CATALOGIC simulation of abiotic and microbial degradation

The unprecedented pollution of the environment by xenobiotic compounds has provoked the need to understand the biodegradation potential of chemicals. Mechanistic understanding of microbial degradation is a premise for adequate modelling of the environmental fate of chemicals. The aim of the present paper is to describe abiotic and biotic models implemented in CATALOGIC software. A brief overview of the specificities of abiotic and microbial...
