Among those who, in one way or another, affirmed such a view of archebiosis were Huxley, Pflüger, Le Dantec, Ver - worn, Leduc, etc.    From Wordnik.com.  [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference

The result is that I am bewildered and astonished by his statements, but am not convinced; though on the whole it seems to me probable that archebiosis is true.    From Wordnik.com.  [Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1] Reference

Dr.B. is always comparing archebiosis as well as growth to crystallisation; but on this view a Rotifer or Tardigrade is adapted to its humble conditions of life by a happy accident; and this I cannot believe.    From Wordnik.com.  [Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1] Reference

I should like to live to see archebiosis proved true, for it would be a discovery of transcendent importance; or if false I should like to see it disproved, and the facts otherwise explained; but I shall not live to see all this.    From Wordnik.com.  [Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1] 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.    From Wordnik.com.  [SPONTANEOUS GENERATION] Reference

The proof that for at least some diseases, the conception of spontaneous virulence must be forever abandoned—as well as the idea of contagion and an infectious element suddenly originating in the bodies of men or animals and able to originate diseases which propagate themselves under identical forms: and all of those opinions fatal to medical progress, which have given rise to the gratuitous hypotheses of spontaneous generation, of albuminoid ferments, of hemiorganisms, of archebiosis, and many other conceptions without the least basis in observation.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Germ Theory and Its Applications to Medicine and Surgery] Reference
