Brit.

/ˌbʌɪəˈlɪtɪk/, U.S.

/ˌbaɪəˈlɪdɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; originally modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: bio- comb. form, -lytic comb. form.

Etymology: < bio- comb. form + -lytic comb. form, originally after German biolytisch ( C. H. Schultz Lehrb. der allgemeinen Krankheitslehre (1844) I. 177). With sense 2 compare slightly earlier biolysis n.

†1. Tending to reduce the strength of structures in the body; having a disorganizing effect in the body. Obsolete.

1845 Brit. & Foreign Med. Rev. Oct. 346 Injurious or biolytic actions... These belong to the biolytic (life-unloosing) processes and periods of disease, and consist especially in the phenomena of interrupted and abolished function.

1852 J. Pereira Elements Materia Med. (Amer. ed. 3) I. v. 158 Water, an important biolytic agent, operates more negatively than positively..by diluting the plasma.

1884 J. L. W. Thudichum Aids to Physiol. Chem. 91 Gout might find an explanation in the failure of this biolytic action, for uric acid once in the blood seems as far out of the reach of oxygen as sugar is in the blood in diabetes.

2. Designating the decomposition of organic matter by microbial or enzymic action, esp. as part of a sewage treatment process where solids and liquids are treated separately; of or relating to such a treatment process.

1977 U.S. Patent 4,041,182 1/2 Applied to the use of cattle manure slurry as raw materials, the biolytic decomposition step employs hydrolyzing enzymes.
