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.
Jul 1, 2000 · This short overview on the history of fermentation shows that the concepts of catalysis and species-specific metabolic capacities of microorganisms, experimentally proved by new analytical and microbiological methods, paved the way for modern research of this field.

Abstract. The beginning of modern microbiology can be traced back to the 1870s, and it was based on the development of new concepts that originated during the two preceding centuries on the role of microorganisms, new experimental methods, and discoveries in chemistry, physics, and evolutionary cell biology.
