The occurrences of microscopic forms of life in nature Anton Van Leeuwenhoek (1632 - 1723) 2. Their reproduction and physiology Father of ancient microbiology 3. Their participation in the processes of nature discovered the microscope 4. Their harmful and harmless effects in man First to describe the rbc 5. Their significance in science and industry See protozoa Classify bacteria into shapes Types of Microorganisms John needman 1. Indigenous microflora/microbiota (87%) The greatest supporter of spontaneous generation - microorganisms that live in or on the body Francisco Redi (1660) 2. Pathogens (3%) Demonstrated animals do not arise spontaneously dead - disease causing bacteria organic matter 3. Opportunists Abbe Spallanzani (1770) Demonstrated that heated broth, in the absence of air, did not support spontaneous generation Scope of Microbiology Schroder and Von Dusch (1854) 1. Bacteriology Bacteria Demonstrated the broth health in the presence of 2. Phycology Algae filtered air did not support spontaneous generation 3. Mycology Fungi Rudolf Virchow (1858) 4. Protozoology Protozoan Proposed the theory of biogenesis 5. Virology Virus John Tyndall (1860) Demonstrated that open tubes of broth remained free of Specialized Areas bacteria to destroy spores 1. General Microbiology Proved that dust caries germs - study of classification of microorganisms and how Louis pasteur (1822- 1895) they function Father of modern microbiology - encompasses all areas of microbiology Disprove the theory of spontaneous generation 2.
