Stagnant pools were found full of them, and the obvious difficulty of assigning a germinal origin to existences so minute furnished the precise condition necessary to give new play to the notion of heterogenesis or spontaneous generation. From Wordnik.com. [Fragments of science, V. 1-2] Reference
Nor can either abiogenesis or heterogenesis be excluded. From Wordnik.com. [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference
Instead, he con - tinued to accept a limited type of heterogenesis pertaining to the presumed production of gall-insects from living plant tissues and of parasitic worms by the host organism. From Wordnik.com. [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference
On this aspect of the question, Pasteur's disproof of heterogenesis was not altogether decisive and was, in part, to be counterbalanced on a more theoretical plane by the success of Darwinism after 1859. From Wordnik.com. [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference
If Dr.B. 's book had been turned upside down, and he had begun with the various cases of heterogenesis, and then gone on to organic and afterwards to saline solutions, and had then given his general arguments, I should have been, I believe, much more influenced. From Wordnik.com. [Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1] Reference
Its two main ver - sions will be further defined as abiogenesis, or the production of living things from nonorganic matter, and heterogenesis, or the rise of living things from organic matter, both animate and inanimate, without genetic resemblance or continuity. From Wordnik.com. [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference
But if Pasteur and his followers disposed finally of heterogenesis, this did not really check the career in the modern age of another version of spontaneous generation — that connected with the problem of archebiosis, or the first origins of life on our planet.

But he does have a table of contents, so let's try that: 1. On the production of subjectivity 2. Machinic heterogenesis 3. Schizoanalytic metamodelisation 4. Schizo chaosmosis 5. Machinic orality and virtual ecology 6. The new aesthetic paradigm 7. The ecosophic object. From Wordnik.com. [Book Blogging: 'Chaosmosis'] Reference
Page 310, Volume 4 of microcosmic heterogenesis, it should be stressed that the technical inability, in the seventeenth and eight - eenth centuries, to ascertain the modes of protozoic reproduction did not lead to the revival of the idea on the same uncritical footing that it had known in the pre-Radi past. From Wordnik.com. [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference
I refer to the danger that always exists, that young or occasional observers are exposed to, amid the complexities of minute animal and vegetable life, of concluding that they have come upon absolute evidences of the transformation of one minute form into another; that in fact they have demonstrated cases of heterogenesis. From Wordnik.com. [Scientific American Supplement, No. 643, April 28, 1888] Reference
The banishing of heterogenesis from microbiology and the resultant recognition that micro-organisms, like all the more visible forms of life, are reproduced only by their own kind, made possible the establishment of bacteri - ology as a precise science and its revolutionary appli - cations in immunology and in the treatment of infec - tious diseases. From Wordnik.com. [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference
It is noteworthy that until that late period those treat - ing the subject did not, as a rule, trouble to make any theoretical distinction between abiogenesis and heterogenesis, it being apparently just as easy for them to imagine the sudden emergence of life from such inorganic substances as mud or water, as its nonrepro - ductive derivation from organic matter, whether living or dead.

To those who sought her advice, she would recommend Vernon Kellogg's notoriously equivocal Darwinism Today (1907), which aimed to familiarize "the student and general reader wishing to understand and compare the general characteristics and significance of the various new theories of species-forming with whose names, such as heterogenesis, orthogenesis, metakinesis, geographic isolation, biologic isolation, organic selection, or orthoplasty, he occasionally meets in his general reading.".
