1. Emission of light accompanying a chemical reaction, as in the oxidation of phosphorus.
2. In physical chemistry, any process in which a chemical reaction produces visible light without a corresponding increase in temperature; for example, bioluminescence; such as the light generated by fireflies, is a form of chemiluminescence.

1. Chemical activity.
2. A chemical property or relationship.

A scientist who specializes in chemistry; another term for a pharmacist, especially in British use.

1. A microorganism that can derive the energy required for growth from oxidation of inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia.
2. Any autotrophic bacteria or protozoan that is not involved in the process of photosynthesis.
3. An organism that depends on chemicals for its energy and principally on carbon dioxide for its carbon.

A reference to microorganisms that obtain metabolic energy by the oxidation of inorganic substrates, such as sulphur, nitrogen, or iron; chemotrophic.

Study devoted to elucidation of correlations between the chemical constitution of various materials and their ability to modify the function and morphology of biological systems.

Having a combination of therapeutic properties for chemotherapeutic and antibiotic objectives.

1. In surgery, the cauterization of tissue by applying a caustic-chemical substance.
2. Any substance that destroys tissue upon application.
