Other experimental methodologies contribute to our understanding of the processes taking place in bioprocesses, and to our knowledge of how bacteria use organic matter. This information only partially covers the needs of dynamic modeling, which is why it is only discussed in this final section. For liquid waste, biochemical identification methods and methods for estimating the total biodegradability of organic matter are discussed. Finally, for solid organic waste that can be treated biologically (aerobically–composting, anaerobically–methanization), the specific problem of determining their biodegradability is described, along with the methods that have been developed.
