  1. bacteria. endospore. fungus. taxonomy. Ferdinand Cohn (born January 24, 1828, Breslau, Silesia, Prussia [now Wrocław, Poland]—died June 25, 1898, Breslau) was a German naturalist and botanist known for his studies of algae, bacteria, and fungi. He is considered one of the founders of bacteriology.

  2. Jul 1, 2000 · Ferdinand Cohn (1828–1898), a pioneer in the developmental biology of lower plants, considerably promoted the taxonomy and physiology of bacteria, discovered the heat-resistant endospores of bacilli, and was active in applied microbiology.

    Thermo-resistant endospores were first hypothesized by Ferdinand Cohn after studying Bacillus subtilis growth on cheese after boiling the cheese. His notion of spores being the reproductive mechanism for the growth was a large blow to the previous suggestions of spontaneous generation.

  4. Jul 7, 2016 · The existence of bacterial endospores was recognized in the 1800s by both Maximilian Perty and Louis Pasteur, and spore formation and germination in Bacillus were reported by Ferdinand Cohn and by Robert Koch.

  6. Jan 1, 2021 · It was not until nearly four decades later that endospores started to be characterized in seminal studies by Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch. Cohn initiated the study of the resistance properties of spores with the observation that B. subtilis spores survive periods of boiling [ 5 ].

  7. 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.
