    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilter

    A biofilter is a bed of media on which microorganisms attach and grow to form a biological layer called biofilm. Biofiltration is thus usually referred to as a fixed–film process. Generally, the biofilm is formed by a community of different microorganisms ( bacteria, fungi, yeast, etc.), macro-organisms ( protozoa, worms, insect's larvae, etc ...
