History of Microbiology

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek [1632-1723]


✖ improved the first microscope and laid foundation for
microbiology
✖ Starts from hobby  create microscope with magnifying

✖ 1st to observe and describe single
celled organisms, “animalcules”,
we now refer to as microorganisms
 refers to protozoa

✖ 2nd observation  animalcules


have dfferent shape, size, motility
 rod, spherical, spiral bacteria
12

Louis Pasteur
✖ He was a chemist, biologist &
microbiologist
✖ He objected the generatio spontanea
theory by his experiment  swan
neck glass flask

✖ Find out that microorganism lead the


fermentation activity

Louis Pasteur
Experiment of Francesco Redi, John Needham, Lazzaro Spallanzani

Louis Pasteur’s
Experiment
15

Louis Pasteur
✖ Pasteur find out the process was
called Pasteurization
✖ mild heating at 62.8°C for 30
minutes rather than boiling was
enough to destroy the undesirable
organisms without ruining the taste
of the product
✖ It solve contamination problems in
beer industri in France (1856-1857)
16

Robert Koch (1843-1910)


✖ Robert koch was a German
bacteriologist
✖ He isolated microorganism that
cause diseases  Bacillus antraxis,
Mycobacterium tubercolosis, Vibrio
cholerae
✖ Koch invented bacteria isolation
using streak plate, usage of gelatin
as solid medium and staining
techniques
