Biogenic Materials

Acetylcholine- Naturally occurring. In real life, a neurotransmitter produced by the brain.

Amniotic Fluid- Naturally occurring. In real life, protects embryos from disease while in the womb.

Bitrium- Bitrium is an element that is left behind after the Crystalline Entity consumes living matter.Bitrious filaments were found in the remains of three attack sites of the Entity. Residual bitrious matter in trace amounts was also found in the soil on Melona IV after the attack by the creature in 2368. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar")

Cryptobiolin- Artificially generated by aliens. An alien equivalent of steroids.

Electrophoretic Energy- In real life, electrophoresis is a process by which proteins are identified by putting them on a gel and running an electric current through the gel, then staining the gel and measuring how far the proteins moved in comparison to a group of standard proteins that were also put on the gel (bigger proteins move slower, in general.)

Fluidic Space- Naturally occurring. A parallel universe near our own composed entirely of a biological fluid.

Ketracel White- Artificially generated by aliens. A vital, isogenic enzyme needed for the survival of the Jem'Hadar. The enzyme can only be provided by the Founders, and currently cannot be reproduced by the Federation. The Founders engineered the Jem'Hadar's addiction to this enzyme to ensure their loyalty to the Dominion.

Phospholipid Fibers- Naturally occurring. In real life, phospholipids are fatty acids with phosphate groups attached. They are small and naturally occur only as liposomes and bilayer sheets, and as monolayer spheres called micelles. But they never form "fibers." Phospholipid bilayers are what cell membranes are mostly made of.

Protomatter- Origin unknown. An unstable form of matter used by David Marcus as a short cut in the construction of the Genesis Device.

Protoplasm- Naturally occurring. Makes up the interior of cells in living matter.

Psilocynine- Naturally occurring. A neurotransmitter involved in telepathy. ' Riboviroxicnucleic Acid'- Naturally occurring. Like DNA, except the number of riboviroxicnucleic acid structures increase as the biological organism ages. In other words, without these structures, we wouldn't be able to "grow up." .

Serotonin- Naturally occurring. A neurotransmitter. In real life, helps the human brain maintain mental equilibrium.

Sporocystain- Naturally occurring. The Caretaker and his race were sporocystain based lifeforms.

Trigenic Vapor- Naturally occurring. Contains high levels of proteins and amino acids. It is a vital source of nutrition for specific alien species. At high levels, can cause severe humanoid skin irritation.

Tryptamine- Naturally occurring. Biological result of exposure to a temporal disturbance - indicated by elevated levels in the brain.
