Spontaneous Generation• The idea that life could arise
spontaneously from nonliving matter–Ex: Toads and Mice could arise from soil
–Until the 18th century this believe existed

–Spontaneous Generation finally disproved
–Boiled broth in long-s-shaped necked flasks (unsealed)•Remained sterile•Proved that microorganisms are present in air, but air does not create microbes
–Beginning of the golden age of microbiology
Louis Pasteur (1861)
![Page 17: History and scope](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081512/554b21f2b4c9055d098b54f4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

History (cont.)• 1861 Pasteur
–Proved Microorganisms are present in nonliving matter
–Microbes can be destroyed by heat
•Aseptic Technique• Fermentation mediated by yeast, not air
–Pasteurization to prevent wine and beer spoilage (by bacteria)
![Page 19: History and scope](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081512/554b21f2b4c9055d098b54f4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1857-Louis Pasteur saves France’s wine
1)Good wine contained yeast
2)Sour wine contained bacterium (Bacteria that use alcohol and produce acetic acid spoil wine by turning it to vinegar (acetic acid).
3)He reasoned that if wine is heated to destroy the harmful bacteria it wouldn’t spoil (process known as Pasteurization)

Germ Theory of Disease
• Pasteur proposed that wine spoiling in an analogy for disease (bacterial growth made the wine “sick”)
• He hypothesized in 1857 that microorganisms are responsible for infectious diseases

Edward Jenner (country doctor)–Milkmaid didn’t get smallpox b/c they contracted the
milder form of cowpox–Immune system cannot distinguish btw
cowpox/smallpox–Scratched a farmboy w/ a needle bearing fluid from
cowpox–Small pox Vaccine- -Vacca-cow- Vaccination w/ cowpox provided immunity for
smallpox

Robert Koch (1843-1910)
• German country physician who developed microbiology into a science
• Developed pure culture techniques (used potato slices to grow bacteria) developed agar later on
• Proof of the germ theory• Work with anthrax• Koch’s postulates
![Page 26: History and scope](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081512/554b21f2b4c9055d098b54f4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Pure Culture Key to Studying Microbes
Definition: Pure culture is a population of organism, all of which are the progeny of a single organism
-In nature, microbes almost never occur as pure cultures
![Page 28: History and scope](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081512/554b21f2b4c9055d098b54f4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
AGAR•Is a complex polysaccharide derived from seaweed•Was suggested by Fannie Hesse wife of Koch’s co-worker Walther Hesse•“why do your jellies and pudding stay solid in warm weather”?
•AGAR-AGAR had been used as a gelling agent in Asia for centuries•Fannie learned to use AGAR-AGAR from a Dutch neighbor in New York who spent time in Asia

Koch’s postulates1)Specific microorganism is present in all
cases of the disease2)Organism can be obtained in pure
culture outside of the host3)Organism when re-inoculated into host
causes the same symptoms4)Organism can be isolated in pure culture
from experimentally infected host
