   Koch’s discovery of the dormant stage, the anthrax spores, allowed him to successfully unravel the mystery behind the anthrax disease. By gaining a better understanding of this pathogen, he was able to shed light on the bacterium’s remarkable resistance against environmental factors (“Robert Koch – Nobel Lecture” 2018).

   How did Robert Koch Discover anthrax?

   • Robert Koch’s microscope, from his time in Wolsztyn, Poland, ca 1872. While studying anthrax, Koch detected shiny, bead-like spores in samples under his microscope. Under certain conditions, the spores grew into the rodlike anthrax bacilli that cause the disease. Such spores can survive in soil for years before springing back to deadly life.

   How did Koch propagate anthrax?

   • By repeating these inoculations, Koch could propagate anthrax rods over dozens of generations. The rods varied in length. Long rods were often indented, as if ready to divide. Koch hypothesized that these were living bacteria, which propagated by elongation and fission. He noted that their presence was required for disease transmission.
