microzyman.

Brit.

/ˌmʌɪkrə(ʊ)ˈzʌɪmə/, U.S.

/ˌmaɪkroʊˈzaɪmə/

Inflections: Plural microzymas, microzymata.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Microzyma.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Microzyma (P. J. A. Béchamp 1867 (in French context, with plural agreement), in Comptes rendus de l'Acad. des Sci. 64 1044) < micro- micro- comb. form + -zyma ( < ancient Greek ζύμη leaven: see azyme n.).In later papers in Comptes rendus, Béchamp appears to use microzyma as a naturalized singular, with plural microzymas.

Biology. Now historical.

In the terminology of P. J. A. Béchamp: a tiny living particle with fermentative activity, regarded as the basic constituent of bacteria, cells, etc. Cf. microzyme n.

1868 Q. Jrnl. Microsc. Sci. 8 274 The author makes additional remarks as to the evolution of Microzymata, or molecular granulations.

1870 Nature 17 Feb. 416/2 Béchamp and A. Estot [sic] presented a note ‘On the nature and origin of the blood-corpuscles’, in which they maintain that these globules are ‘aggregations of microzymata’.

1870 Appletons' Jrnl. 24 Dec. 772 A French anatomist, M. Béchamp, in a communication to the Academy of Medicine at Paris, shows that the human body is built up of infinitely small creatures, which he calls microzymas; that, when these are acting harmoniously, the body is in health... The microzymas are not only ferments in themselves, but they produce those minute creatures which naturalists call bacteria, and they produce also cells.

1886 Science 11 June 521/2 It is pretty well known that Béchamp has got up a theory on microzymas, which nobody save himself well understands. Microzymas, according to his idea, are molecular granulations which have existed since the beginning of the world.

1934 Science 2 Feb. 109/2 Dr. R. L. Watkins gave a historical account of the concept of microzymas as a constituent of all cells.
