biosynthetic

/bˌaɪoʊsɪnθˈɛɾɪk/ adj

of or pertaining to biosynthesis

Word Origin From Greek bios 'life' and synthesis 'putting together' (syn- 'together' + tithenai 'to place') — so biosynthetic means 'putting together life,' i.e., producing substances using living organisms. The same roots give us biology, photosynthesis, synthetic, thesis, and theme.
