(disease-causing)
Father of microbiology. Invented a microscope strong enough to
Antoine van Leeuwenhoek
view microbes "animalcules".
Regarded as first person to formally postulate that disease was
Giralamo Fracastoro
spread by tiny invisible seminaria "seeds of contagion".
Robert Hooke First to observe cells.
A French chemist, this man discovered that heat could kill bacteria
that otherwise spoiled liquids including milk, wine, and beer.
Louis Pasteur
Showed that microbial strains were
unique, performed fermentation, and began the development of
pasteurization and vaccines.
Developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens. First
Robert Koch to connect microbe with a specific disease. Discovered
causative agent for anthrax, cholera, and
tuberculosis.
Taxonomy The scientific study of how living things are classified
The "Father of Taxonomy". He came up with our modern day
Carolus Linneaus system of classification called Binomial Nomenclature. Most
famous early taxonomists. Divided 3 kingdoms animal, plant,
and mineral. Sublevels: kingdom, class, order, family, genus,
species
Phylogeny The evolutionary history of a species or group of related species.
Ernst Haeckel Father of ecology. Proposed another kingdom, protista, later monera.
added fungi as a 5th kingdom of eukaryotic microbes. Divided
Robert Whittaker
kingdoms into prokaryote (monera) and eukaryote (fungi,
protista, plantae, animalia)
Studied the small subunit of the ribosome
Proposed a separate taxonomic unit: Archaea.
