bioplasm

Banton warned that vaccination would introduce “bioplasm” into the bloodstream and expose subjects to the “vices, passions, and diseases of the cow.”

It has been already said that a vegetable may temporarily exist as a particle of bioplasm without any cell-wall, and such is the case with Protococcus, the cellular envelope of which occasionally disappears.

As has also been shown, many of the lowest animals take on occasionally the encysted condition when they also consist of a particle of bioplasm enclosed in a distinct cell-wall or cyst, though one not made of cellulose.

Within its bioplasm a clear space or vacuole may often be distinguished.

A tiny mass of bioplasm, in itself a living unit and having formative power, as a living white blood corpuscle; bioblast.
