|---|---|---|---|
| 2 billion BC | A bacterium becomes symbiotic with the cell from which animals and plants later develop. Chromosomes from this bacterium’s mitochondria would later carry 37 genes in the human body.[1] | ||
| c.1828 | "c.1828. Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795-1876) introduced the new technical terms bakterium/bakteria to replace the vaguer "germ" and "miasma."" | ||
| c.1830 | "c.1830. Turning to the study of microscopic organisms in water, soil, and dust, Ehrenberg described many new types of unicells, Protista, diatoms and general infusoria. He also demonstrated that sedimentary rocks, such as chalk, are composed of microscopic shells of ancient creatures." | ||
| 1832 | "1832. G.E. Winslow publishes a standard text on cholera from the pre-bacterial era, Essay on the Nature, Symptoms and Treatment of Asiatic Cholera,1832, New York: Sleight & Robinson." | ||
| 1833 | "1833. Johannes Peter Mueller (1801-1858), now considered the founder of modern physiology, is made Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitaet (later Humboldt-Universitaet, Humboldt University) of Berlin. His students included three pioneers in bacteriology, Schwann, Remak, and Virchow." | ||
| 1835 | "Ehrenberg coined the term bacillus for the spore-forming, short, rod-like organisms." | ||
| 1839 | " Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) demonstrates the cellular basis of the body." | ||
| 1840 | " Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle offers his theory of contagion in Von den Miasmen und Kontagion." | ||
| 1844 | " Agostino Bassi (1773-1856), an Italian entomologist, applies to human beings his theories regarding the role played by pathogenic organisms in infectious diseases." | ||
| 1847 | " Cranston R. Low and T.C. Dodds publish the illustrated Atlas of Bacteriology. Edinburgh: E. & S. Livingstone" | ||
| 1857 | ". Carl Zeiss (1816-1888), a German optical-instrument maker, produces his Stand I-compound model microscope." | ||
| 1858 | " Louis Pasteur published Memoire sur la fermentation appelée lactique [Memoir on Lactic Fermentation]. — the foundation stone of the cell theory, microbiology, and bacteriology." | ||
| 1881 | German Jewish physician Paul Ehrlich introduces the dye methylene blue into bacteriology.[2] |
