To put it in a simple and direct way, I coined the word and the term biomachinery to have a useful contribution to words and terminology to describe some novel functions of organisms within ecosystem, especially aquatic organisms within water bodies and streams, with emphasis on the vital ecosystem function toward maintaining and improving water quality (water self-purification). Below I listed the publications of mine in which this word, biomachinery, is coined and used.

These are 3 key papers in which the new term, biomachinery, was introduced into science.

The three papers:
