Other Important Contributions

The methyl violet dye was first used by Weigert (1875) for staining bacteria. Christian Gram (1884) introduced the 'Gram Staining Technique' to stain bacteria. We still use this technique for identifying and classifying bacteria.

H.C. Hansen (1842-1909) opened the way to study of industrial fermentations as he developed the pure culture study of yeast and bacteria used in vinegar manufacture and named them as "starters". Adametz (1889), for example, used pure cultures in cheese manufacture, and Conn and Weigmann developed pure culture starters for butter production (1890-1897).

Thus the science of microbiology grew up profoundly within a period of forty years (1860-1900). Its early years were tempestuous, but by the first years of twentieth century the main in the street and on the farm knew of bacteria. Man, by this time, also knew that the bacteria could do good for him, and resolved in learning to control them from causing diseases to plants, animals, and humans.

Many landmark discoveries in the field of microbiology have been made in 20th century, the modern period of grow of microbiology. However, the landmark events in the development of microbiology.
