History
• 1665 Robert Hooke observed living plant tissues (20X mag.)
• “Little boxes” or Cells
• Used simple magnifying lens
• Suggested all living things are made of cells

Spontaneous Generation
• The idea that life could arise spontaneously from nonliving matter
–Ex: Toads and Mice could arise from soil
–Until the 18th century this believe existed

–1st one to disprove spontaneous generation

Italian priest Lazzaro Spallanzani (1765)
• Similar to Needham’s Experiments
• He showed that heating a sealed flask of meat broth prevented growth of organism
• Skeptics claimed—lack of O2prevented growth!!

The Golden Age of Microbiology!
•Louis Pasteur (finally disproved
spontaneous generation after many years
of debate)
•Robert Koch (proof of germ theory)
•Other pioneers in Microbiology

Pasteur—Father of microbiology
•1857- Louis Pasteur saves France’s wine
industry
•Napoleon III begged Pasteur (a chemist
by training) to help solve a problem
•Sailors were mutinying b/c their wine
was spoiling after only a few weeks at sea
•Pasteur armed with his trusty
microscope accepted the challenge

–Spontaneous Generation finally disproved
–Boiled broth in long-s-shaped necked flasks (unsealed)
•Remained sterile
•Proved that microorganisms are present in air, but air does not createmicrobes
–Beginning of the golden age of microbiology
Louis Pasteur (1861)
![Page 17: History and scope](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55c385aabb61ebe57a8b46bb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

History (cont.)• 1861 Pasteur
–Proved Microorganisms are present in
nonliving matter
–Microbes can be destroyed by heat
•Aseptic Technique
• Fermentation mediated by yeast, not air
–Pasteurization to prevent wine and beer
spoilage (by bacteria)
![Page 19: History and scope](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55c385aabb61ebe57a8b46bb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1857-Louis Pasteur saves France’s wine
1)Good wine contained yeast
2)Sour wine contained bacterium (Bacteria
that use alcohol and produce acetic acid spoil wine by turning it to
vinegar (acetic acid).
3)He reasoned that if wine is heated to
destroy the harmful bacteria it
wouldn’t spoil (process known as
Pasteurization)

Germ Theory of Disease
• Pasteur proposed that wine spoiling in an analogy for disease (bacterial growth made the wine “sick”)
• He hypothesized in 1857 that microorganisms are responsible for infectious diseases

Edward Jenner (country doctor)– Milkmaid didn’t get smallpox b/c they
contracted the milder form of cowpox
– Immune system cannot distinguish btw cowpox/smallpox
– Scratched a farmboy w/ a needle bearing fluid from cowpox
– Small pox Vaccine
- -Vacca-cow
- Vaccination w/ cowpox provided immunity for smallpox

Robert Koch (1843-1910)
• German country physician who developed microbiology into a science
• Developed pure culture techniques (used potato slices to grow bacteria) developed agar later on
• Proof of the germ theory
• Work with anthrax
• Koch’s postulates

Pure Culture Key to Studying
Microbes
Definition: Pure culture is a
population of organism, all of which
are the progeny of a single organism
-In nature, microbes almost never
occur as pure cultures
![Page 28: History and scope](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55c385aabb61ebe57a8b46bb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
AGAR•Is a complex polysaccharide derived from
seaweed
•Was suggested by Fannie Hesse wife of
Koch’s co-worker Walther Hesse•“why do your jellies and pudding stay solid in warm weather”?
•AGAR-AGAR had been used as a gelling
agent in Asia for centuries
•Fannie learned to use AGAR-AGAR from a
Dutch neighbor in New York who spent time in
Asia

Koch’s postulates
1)Specific microorganism is present in all
cases of the disease
2)Organism can be obtained in pure
culture outside of the host
3)Organism when re-inoculated into host
causes the same symptoms
4)Organism can be isolated in pure culture
from experimentally infected host

Alexander Fleming –scottish researcher--1928
• Discovered Penicillin (fungus) by accident
• Was convinced that nasal mucus had antibacterial effects
• Left his Staphylococcus culture on an agar plate for 2 weeks-went on vacation-came back &found mold on his plate which prevented bacterial growth (a mycology lab underneath him had this rare spore drift)
