A biodeterioration is the decay of wood and other materials as a result of the action of bacteria, fungi or other organisms.
Biodeterioration refers to the damaging effects of living organisms on materials or structures, such as wood rot caused by fungi. Biodegradation, on the other hand, involves the breakdown of organic substances by microorganisms, leading to their conversion into simpler compounds like water and carbon dioxide. In summary, biodeterioration causes harm, while biodegradation is a natural process that helps recycle organic matter.
Biodeterioration is the decaying of organic matter like wood,timber,sewage etc while biodegradation is the decaying of inorganic matter like herbicides , DDT , Insectisides etc with the help of microbes.....

Biodeterioration of paper materials is commonly caused by fungi, humid conditions favor the growth of fungi. Fungi play a role in destroying and degrading carbon and residue of nitrogen such as wood and paper. Fungi can produce hydrolytic enzymes such as cellulase, xylanase, pectinase.... Since the paper is made of cellulose and other materials, it can be destroyed and deteriorated by fungi.
Effectiveness and efficiency are the differences between cultivating in compost and rice bran and digging into rice bran and sawdust in terms of growing oyster mushrooms. The maximum fruit body yield and the maximum mycelial growth rate for the mushroom in question (Pleurotus ostreatus) reach a value 153 percent higher in the first case's substrate of 9.3 percent rice bran and 24 percent food waste compost than in the control case's 20 percent rice bran and 80 percent sawdust. Kangwon National University researchers Hyoung-Jun Chae and Johng-Hwa Ahn in the Republic of Korea reveal the results in a study published May 2013 in the online journal Intenrational Biodeterioration & Biodegradation.
