1876E. R. Lankester tr. Haeckel's Hist. Creat. I. 339 We call spontaneous generation plasmogeny when the organism arises in an organic formative fluid, that is, in a fluid which contains those requisite fundamental substances dissolved in the form of complicated and fluid combinations of carbon. 1904McCabe tr. Haeckel's Wond. Life xv. 369, I distinguished two principal stages—autogony (the formation of the first living matter from inorganic nitrogenous carbon-compounds) and plasmogony (the formation of the first individualised plasm; the earliest organic individuals in the form of monera). |
