They assert that Duclaux has shown that the germination 

 of plants is impossible without the presence of bacteria, but this 

 is incorrect. Duclaux showed only that when peas and beans 

 were germinated in milk they behaved exactly as when 

 germinated in pure water. In a comment on Duclaux's paper, 

 Pasteur hazarded the supposition that animal life required 

 the presence of bacteria, and hence perhaps the origin of 

 the confusion.

The fact that plants can be grown to maturity from sterile seed 

 in sterile vessels shows that plants can develop independently 

 of bacteria.
