Õlilembene

Õlilembene is an Estonian term that describes something which is fond of or thrives in oily or fatty conditions. This term is often used in biology and ecology to describe microorganisms or plants that can metabolize or require fats and oils for their growth and survival. For instance, certain bacteria or fungi are considered õlilembene if they possess enzymes capable of breaking down lipids. This characteristic can be important in various natural processes, such as the decomposition of organic matter, and in industrial applications like bioremediation or the production of biofuels. In a more general sense, the term can be applied to any entity that shows a preference or dependency on fatty substances.
