Cometabolism is the use of two substrates simultaneously. The term secondary substrate metabolism is also used.
One substrate is a growth promoting substrate and the other isa non growth promoting substrate (it means that the non growth promoting substrate is not used by the microbe for C or N or P.)
During the process of cometabolism both the substrates bind to the enzyme and are metabolized.
Mostly in case of degradation of environmental pollutants, oxygenases (mono and di oxygenases) are used.
