Bioremediation approaches for organic pollutants: a critical perspective. (2011, background): “Because of low bioavailability and accessibility of pollutants, biphasic (‘hockey stick’) kinetics of biodegradation, consisting of an initial period of fast degradation, followed by a second, much slower phase, is commonly observed in soils and sediments during bioremediation (Semple et al., 2004).”
