[Tex/LaTex] Using option for bibliography style

Question

I am trying to write with the BioMed Central template.

For the bibliotraphy, I have a file named:

bmc_article.bib

In the main .tex, the bibliography is included by:

% if your bibliography is in bibtex format, use those commands:
\bibliographystyle{bmc-mathphys} % Style BST file
\bibliography{bmc_article}      % Bibliography file (usually '*.bib' )

In the bmc-mathphys.sty the following commands appear:

\DeclareOption{undef}    {\only@first{\def\bibliography@style{0}\def\bibliography@key{undef}
                          \def\bibliography@style@name{undefined}}} 
\DeclareOption{basic}    {\only@first{\def\bibliography@style{1}\def\bibliography@key{basic}
                          \def\bibliography@style@name{Basic Springer}}} 
\DeclareOption{chemistry}{\only@first{\def\bibliography@style{2}\def\bibliography@key{chemistry}
                          \def\bibliography@style@name{Chemistry}}} 
\DeclareOption{bmc}      {\only@first{\def\bibliography@style{10}\def\bibliography@key{bmc}
                          \def\bibliography@style@name{BMC Reference Style}}}

I guess I need the "bmc" style, but how can I select that option? Where should I select it?

There should be a call

\usepackage[bmc]{bmcart-biblio}

in the document preamble.

Here's a test document, using the files in the distribution.

\documentclass[linenumbers,draft]{bmcart}
\usepackage[bmc]{bmcart-biblio}
\makeatletter
\begingroup
\def\get#1\p@{#1}
\count@=\expandafter\get\leftarea@width
\advance\count@\@ne
\edef\x{\endgroup\def\noexpand\leftarea@width{\the\count@\p@}}\x
\makeatother

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[caption=false]{subfig}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd\set@numberlines@box{\rlap}{\@gobble}{}{}
\makeatother

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %unicode support
