Who invented bacteriology?
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.
After 1870, Cohn turned his attention primarily to bacteria. He defined bacteria as "chlorophyll-free cells of spherical, oblong, or cylindrical form, sometimes twisted or bent, which multiply exclusively by transverse division and occur either isolated or in cell families."
