BRIEF HISTORYBRIEF HISTORY
before microorganism were discovered, ancient peopleregarded diseases as a form of punishment sent byGOD for the sins of men
Biblical disease - Leprosy- Tuberculosis
- Syphilis
- Plague
treatment and prevention of these diseases were sought bysacrifices to appease the anger of God

Marcus Terentius Varro during the 2nd century B.C postulated the
concept of contagion
q
diseases are transmitted by invisible creature
In De re rustica, a book on agriculture, he speculatedthat contagion from stagnant water might affect aperson's health.(This theory of disease was first formulated scientificallyin 1546 by Girolamo Fracastoro.)
-

Girolamo Fracastoro (1546) Latin Hieronymus Fracastorius
He is best known for Syphilis
His intense study of epidemic diseases led to his book
On Contagion and Contagious Diseases
He postulated that each disease is caused by a differenttype of rapidly multiplying minute body (invisible livingthings), transmitted by direct contact or by intermediary
inanimate fomites or through the air.
-

Roger Bacon (13th century) postulated that invisible living creatures calledgerms produce disease
He constructed the first magnifying lenses in 1267 Useful to enlarge detail on small organisms

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Father of Bacteriology 1st to describe bacteria in 1677
with the use of a simple microscopeutilizing crude lenses
1stperson to actually see live microorganismsanimalcules that he observed in teeth scrapings,rain water, and peppercorn infusions
Submitted detailed descriptions and drawings to theRoyal Society of London
described the 3 major forms of bacteria(rod, spherical, spiral) andfungi, protozoa, spermatozoa
-

Robert Hooke (1665)
developed the compound microscopethat used reflected light and was ableto confirm Leeuwenhoeks discoveries
Founded the field of Microscopic
Biology through his published work -"Micrographia
first person to coin the word cell todescribe the tiniest components of the
living system

ABIOGENESIS
THEORY
VS
BIOGENESIS
THEORY
The discovery of microbesboth generated and spurredenough interest not only inthe fundamental origin ofliving things but alsoaugmented argument andspeculations alike
-

(Abiogenesis)(Abiogenesis)
This theory existed to explain the origin of some formsof life
Living organisms arose spontaneously from nonliving,decaying organic matter.
Believed to explain the origin of animalcules
Spontaneous generation theory took another 200 yearsto disprove
-
8/6/2019 Lecture 1 Micro Introduction Copy

Aristotle
proposed theSpontaneous Generation Theory
living things could developspontaneously from non-living
materials Supported by appearance of living
creatures in decaying meat,stagnating ponds, fermenting grain,and infected wounds

Experiments to disproveExperiments to disprove
Spontaneous Generation TheorySpontaneous Generation Theory
1. Francesco Redi (1626-1697)
Introduced experimental procedure for disproof S.G
Utilized jars containing meat. Some were covered,some were not.
he challenged the idea that maggots arosespontaneously from rotting meat
Results not accepted for microscopic organisms.
-
8/6/2019 Lecture 1 Micro Introduction Copy

1. Unsealed demonstrated the appearance ofmaggots in decomposing meat as a result on thedeposition of eggs by flies
2. Sealed no maggots on meat
3. Partially covered -- realizing that the sealed containerswere deprived of air, he used "fine Naples veil", andobserved no worm on the meat, but they appeared onthe cloth

2.John Needham (1713-1781)
claimed that vital life is needed for the spontaneousgeneration of microbes
Introduced the first culture medium for microbial growthutilizing infusion broth prepared by boiling meat & grain, toextract nutrients.
Broth put in flasks, some were sealed with corks, some werenot.
Believing that boiling would kill all living things, he showedthat when sealed right after boiling, the broths would cloud,allowing the belief in spontaneous generation to persist
He added that the reason why no living organisms emergedfrom heated and sealed solutions in containers is that thevital life was destroyed by the heat and new vital life wasnot supplied to the solutions because they cannot enter thesealed containers

3.Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799)
Repeated Needhams experiments but attempting to excludethe possibility of introducing a contaminating factor betweenboiling and sealing
Broth is boiled after placing in sealed flasks.(done by melting neck of the flask)
Although he did not see growth, the exclusion of air left thequestion of whether air was an essential factor inspontaneous generation
Results more consistent with Redis
Occasionally sealed flask p cloudy

4 . Rudolph Virchow
in 1858, he challenged the spontaneous generation withhis concept/theory of biogenesis.
He claimed that living cells can arise only frompreexisting living cells
This concept would somehow explain the origin ofanimalcules seen under a microscope.
Although Virchow was correct with this concept, helacked the needed experimental evidences demonstrating
his concept of biogenesis.

5. John Tyndall
proved that dust carried germs
also found out that bacterial spores could be killed bysuccessive heating
tyndallization (Fractional sterilization) - heating withfree -flowing steam for 30-60min for 3 consecutive days
at100rC

6. Louis Pasteur
Placed boiled infusion broths in swan-necked flasks Flasks remained sterile unless tilted or neck broken
The idea being that the bend in the neck prevented anyparticles from reaching the broth, while still allowing thefree flow of air. The flask remained free of growth for anextended period.
When the flask was tilted so that particles could fall downthe bends, the broth became quickly clouded suggestingbacterial contamination

His experiment was accepted as disproof of theory of SG.Thus he claimed the prize for the contest conducted todisprove the spontaneous generation theory in 1864
Additional work:
Pasteurization - to prevent spoilage of wine.
Introduced Germ Theory of Disease after discoveringsilk worm disease caused by protozoan.
-
8/6/2019 Lecture 1 Micro Introduction Copy
27/54
The Theory of BiogenesisThe Theory of Biogenesis
states that living things can only arise from living thingsand cannot be spontaneously generated
Virchow introduced the Theory of Biogenesis attributed to Louis Pasteur - He provided the evidence
that any appearance of spontaneous life in nonlivingsolutions can be attributed to microbes that already exist
in the air or in the fluids themselves. Pasteur's (and others) empirical results were summarized
in the phrase, Omne vivum ex vivo, Latin for all life[is] from life
-
8/6/2019 Lecture 1 Micro Introduction Copy
28/54
Germ Theory of DiseaseGerm Theory of Disease
developed by Louis Pasteur
it states that each specific infectious disease is caused by a
specific microorganism
Scientists hypothesized that since microorganisms have theability to modify non-living organic matter, they may alsohave the ability to do the same in living plants and animals that the modifications (whether physical or chemical)they made to these organisms are the causes of disease.They later called this hypothesis as the germ theory ofdisease
-

Important Events That Strengthened the GermTheory
1.Louis Pasteur (1865)
was able to prove that the new silk worm disease
affecting the silk industry was caused by a protozoan. He formulated a way to identify afflicted silkworm
moths so that they would be destroyed and would notinfect others.
He proved that the invisible protozoans cause diseaseto the silk worms.
Note that the invisibility of the protozoans is due totheir very tiny sizes (a few micrometers) which can onlybe seen under a microscope
-
8/6/2019 Lecture 1 Micro Introduction Copy
30/54
2.Joseph Lister (1878)
used the germ theory of disease to promote his idea thatdisinfection is necessary to prevent the spread ofdiseases caused by microorganisms
He promoted carbolic acid (phenol solution) as the
disinfectant, knowing that it effectively kills bacteria. When surgeons found out that the phenol solution has
dramatically reduced the incidence of infections anddeaths to patients, more doctors began using it until itbecame a standard operating procedure.
also developed the first pure culture technique usingliquid medium which was the key to identification ofbacteria

3. Robert Koch
first scientist to devise a series of proofs used to verifythe germ theory of disease
used the germ theory of disease to prove that thedisease anthrax, which kills cattle and sheep, is caused
by a bacterium Kochs Postulates - sequence of experimental procedures
for directly associating a specificmicroorganism to a specific disease
Established proof of the microbial etiology of 3 importantdiseases of this day: Cholera (V. cholerae) Tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis)Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis)

(Postulate 1)The organism must always
be found in diseased animalsand not in healthy one
(Postulate 2)Organisms isolated from
the diseased animals mustbe grown in pure cultureaway from the diseased
animals
(Postulate 3)Organisms grown in pureculture must initiate andreproduce the disease when
re-inoculated into susceptible animal
(Postulate 4)Organisms must be
re-isolated fromexperimentally
infected animals
KOCKS POSTULATE
-

33/54
Exceptions to the Kocks Postulate :
#1) Carrier - some individual harbors the organism but donot manifest the disease and can transmit thedisease to others
# 2) Some or certain organisms/bacteria cannot be cultured
in vitro (cannot grow in artificial culture media)Ex. Mycobacterium leprae / Treponema pallidum
# 3) Certain animals not susceptible to certain microorganism- some animals are by nature immune
cannot replicate even with the same specie
- some bacterial specie are host specificEx. Vibrio cholerae cannot cause chicken
cholera or vice versa

MICROBIAL TAXONOMYMICROBIAL TAXONOMY
area of biologic science comprising of 3 distinct but highlyinterrelated disciplines that include:
- Classification
- Nomenclature
- Identification
1. Establish phylogenic relationships between groups oforganisms
2. Provides reference for identification by describingphysical, chemical characteristics of previouslyidentified and classified organisms
3. Provides universal language of communication

ClassificationClassification
organization or level of classification of microorganismsthat share similar morphologic, physiologic and genetictraits into specific groups or Taxa / Taxon
Genus: comprised of different species that have severalimportant features in common but differsufficiently to still maintain their status as individualspecie
Species: most basic taxonomic group and may bedefined as a collection of bacterial strains that sharemany common physiologic and genetic features and
as a group differ notably from other bacterial specie

- before microorganisms were discovered allliving things were believed to be either
plants and animals
- no transition type were thought to exist
- after discovery of microorganism it was clear that microorganism combines
both plant and animal properties

cytoskeleton which provides support for the differentorganelles
- contain complex phospholipids, sphingolipids, histones,sterols
mitochondria are sites of energy production for cellularwork
ribosomes (80s) - masses of RNA and proteins thatfunction as the site for protein synthesis
golgi apparatus is where protein is packed for export
endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the transport ofnewly synthesized proteins

method of cell division: mitosis
mitosis - one cell divides to produce two geneticallyidentical cells
meiosis - which is required in sexual reproduction,one diploid cell (having two instances of each
chromosome, one from each parent) undergoesrecombination of each pair of parental chromosomes,and then two stages of cell division, resulting in fourhaploid cells (gametes)

are haploid with a single chromosome composed solelyof DNA
method of cell division: binary fission
- is a form of asexual reproduction and cell divisionused by all prokaryotes, some protozoa, and some
organelles within eukaryotic organisms.
- This process results in the reproduction of a livingprokaryotic cell by division into two parts that eachhave the potential to grow to the size of the originalcell.
