Overview. Ferdinand Julius Cohn (1828-1898) is recognized as one of the founders of modern bacteriology. He contributed to the creation of this discipline in two important ways. First, he invented a new system for classifying bacteria, which provided microbiologists with a more standardized nomenclature with which to work.
His contributions include systematic classification of bacteria, discovery of bacterial spore, help in disproving the fallacy of spontaneous generation, and establishing a journal "Beitrage zur Biologie der Pflanzen" which served as an important vehicle for the publications of many pioneer bacteriological papers.

Jul 12, 2020 · Abstract. This article traces the historical co‐evolution of microbiology, bacteriology, and virology, framed within industrial and agricultural contexts, as well as their role in colonial and national history between the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century.
After 1850, Cohn researched a wide variety of topics including the sexuality of algae and fungi, plant tissues and organs, and the effect of light on microscopic plants. His most lasting influence, however, was his research on bacteria.
