The degradation process can be divided into three stages: biological corrosion, biodegradation and bioassimilation. Biocorrosion is sometimes described as surface-level degradation that alters the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of materials.
If the material is exposed to abiotic factors, biological corrosion will occur, resulting in further degradation of the material structure. These initial changes are influenced by abiotic factors in the presence of environmental (mechanical), light, temperature, and chemical factors.
[1] Although biocorrosivity is usually the first stage of biodegradation, in some cases it may occur simultaneously with biodegradation.

[3] Biocorrosion is defined as the harmful effect of living things on human materials, including the cracking of stone blocks in buildings
[4] The corrosion of metals by microorganisms, or simply the aesthetic alteration of man-made structures caused by biological growth.
Polymer microbial degradation is the cracking process of polymer internal bond fracture, where oligomers and monomers are produced.
