    The document discusses the history of microbiology. In 1665, Robert Hooke observed "little boxes" or cells under his microscope, marking the beginning of the cell theory that all living things are composed of cells. From 1673-1723, Anton van Leeuwenhoek used simple microscopes to observe the first live microorganisms, which he called "animalcules", finding them in water, feces, and materials scraped from teeth. In the late 19th century, some believed in spontaneous generation where life could arise from non-living matter, but experiments by Redi, Needham, and Spallanzani helped disprove this theory.

    First observation

    1665- Robert hook observed “little boxes” or cells using his improvised microscopes. It
    marked the beginning of the cell theory- all living things are composed of
    cells.
    1673- 1723- Anton van Leeuwenhoek- first to observe live microorganisms he called
    “animalcules” with the aid of simple, single lens microscopes. He found these
    organisms in rainwater, feces, and materials scraped from teeth.

    2nd Half of 19th century- Spontaneous Generation (SG)

    Many scientists and philosophers believed and hypothesized that some form of life could
    arise spontaneously from non-living matter. This gave rise to the hypothesis called
    Spontaneous generation- people believed that toads, snakes, and mice born of moist
    soil; flies emerged from manure; maggots (larvae of flies) could arise from decaying
    corpses.

    1668- Francesco Redi refuted that spontaneous generation and contended that maggots
    do not born out of the decaying corpse.

    1745- John Needham verified the SG hypothesis when he observed that the heated
    chicken and corn broth in the covered flasks teemed with microorganisms.

    1765- Lazzaro Spallanzani performed experiment similar to Needham and did not
    observe any microorganism in the heated nutrient fluids after being sealed in a
    flask.

    Questions
    1. What is cell theory?
    2. Explain the importance of observations made by Hook and Leeuwenhoek?
    3. Why do you think Spallanzani and Needham got different results?
