Definition: The term "autotoxis" is used in the context of environmental science and biochemistry to describe substances that are capable of being biodegraded by microorganisms. These substances, also known as endothermic or thermophilic compounds, can break down into simpler organic components without requiring oxygen. This process is called autotrophic degradation. Autotoxis are found in a wide variety of environments, including oceans, lakes, and wetlands. They are able to degrade organic matter due to their
