      germ. Cf. {Germen}, {Germane}.]
      1. (Biol.) That which is to develop a new individual; as, the
            germ of a fetus, of a plant or flower, and the like; the
            earliest form under which an organism appears.
  
                     In the entire process in which a new being
                     originates . . . two distinct classes of action
                     participate; namely, the act of generation by which
                     the germ is produced; and the act of development, by
                     which that germ is evolved into the complete
                     organism.                                          --Carpenter.
  
      2. That from which anything springs; origin; first principle;

      {Disease germ} (Biol.), a name applied to certain tiny
            bacterial organisms or their spores, such as Anthrax

      {Germ cell} (Biol.), the germ, egg, spore, or cell from which
            the plant or animal arises. At one time a part of the body
            of the parent, it finally becomes detached,and by a
            process of multiplication and growth gives rise to a mass
            of cells, which ultimately form a new individual like the
            parent. See {Ovum}.
  
      {Germ gland}. (Anat.) See {Gonad}.
  
      {Germ stock} (Zo[94]l.), a special process on which buds are
            developed in certain animals. See {Doliolum}.
  
      {Germ theory} (Biol.), the theory that living organisms can
            be produced only by the evolution or development of living
            germs or seeds. See {Biogenesis}, and {Abiogenesis}. As
            applied to the origin of disease, the theory claims that
            the zymotic diseases are due to the rapid development and
            multiplication of various bacteria, the germs or spores of
            which are either contained in the organism itself, or
            transferred through the air or water. See {Fermentation
            theory}.
