We're Recruiting New Faculty! Home Contact Information Directories of Faculty Postdocs Staff Grad Students ... Other Links Highlights of the History of the Microbiology Department at MSU These highlights are based on "The History of Bacteriology in Michigan", compiled by A. S. Schlingman for the 57 th annual meeting of the Society of American Bacteriologists (Detroit, 1957), recollections of Frank Peabody Harold Sadoff and other emeritus faculty, early reports to the State Board of Agriculture from Charles Marshall, and, most of all, the "Recollections of Early Microbiology at Michigan State University" of W. L. Mallmann (1974). The department officially began as of the 1900-1901 academic year, then named the Department of Bacteriology and Farm Hygiene. Charles Marshall was appointed Assistant Professor and department head (and only faculty member) that year. Marshall came to MSU in 1897 as bacteriologist and hygienist in the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station . In its earliest years, the bacteriology lab was part of the Veterinary Laboratory building located just west of the present day Ag Hall.

Microbiology Dept. - History Microbiology research group at N. Copernicus University in Torun became an independent research unit in mid-60-ties, when its present leader - Professor Edmund Strzelczyk joined it (coming from Lublin); formerly a small microbiology laboratory constituted a part of Department of General Botany. Since the beginning of its existence, Microbiology Dept. has been focusing on research in environmental microbiology (soil and water; since mid-80-ties the unit has been working exclusively on soil microbiology). During early years of its existence, studies on physiology and ecology of microorganisms occurring in agricultural soils, as well as in waters and in bottom sediments of lakes in Northern Poland - were performed. However since the beginning of 70-ties, the unit has been working on forest soil microbiology - with a special emphasis on microbiology of root-free soil and of the rhizosphere of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ), and - since mid-70-ties - on ectomycorrhizal fungi and on the microorganisms associated with ectomycorrhizas of Scots pine. Due to advancement in studies on the above

Departmental History In 1863, Rutgers was designated the "State College for the Benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts" following the passage of the Morrill Land - Grant Act (1862) and soon after the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) was formed in 1880. At Rutgers College in 1893, Julius Nelson clarified the nature of bovine tuberculosis, setting a trend in agricultural microbiology. Edward Voorhees and J. B. Street illuminated the role of soil bacteria in denitrification in 1902, receiving the first Nichols Gold Medal of the American Chemical Society. The introduction of soybeans as an agricultural crop in the United States, pioneered in part by the founder of NJAES, George Cook in 1879, enabled Byron Halsted to use the legumes in evaluating the efficiency of Rhizobium legume inoculants (1899). Based on Halsted's early studies, and his own concern with the role of bacteria in soil fertility, Voorhees established the Department of Soil Chemistry and Bacteriology in 1901 probably the first department of agricultural microbiology in the country and the progenitor of the current Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology. Jacob Lipman was appointed to develop the new Department in 1901 although still completing his Ph.D. in Agricultural Chemistry (Cornell, 1903). This remarkable Russian immigrant, who received his B.S. from Rutgers in 1898, gave tremendous vitality to the new science of soil bacteriology (Voorhees and Lipman

Microbiology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms , including unicellular (single-celled) eukaryotes and prokaryotes fungi , and viruses . Today, most of the work in microbiology is done using methods from biochemistry and genetics . It is also related to pathology , as many microorganisms are pathogens. Microbiologists have made many fundamental contributions to biology , especially in the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology . Microbes have many traits that make them ideal model organisms They are small, therefore they do not consume many resources Some have very short generation times (~30 minutes for E. coli Cells can easily survive in isolation from other cells They can reproduce by mitotic division, allowing for the propagation of genetically identical ( clonal ) populations. They may be frozen for long periods of time. Even if 90% of the cells are killed by the freezing process, there are millions of cells in a milliliter of liquid culture. These traits allowed Joshua and Esther Lederberg to devise an elegant experiment in demonstrating that adaptive mutations arise from preadaptation rather than directed mutation. For this purpose, they invented

Home History of the Department The Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics of the Harvard Medical School has a long and distinguished history of making significant contributions to an understanding of the fundamental causes, means of prevention, and treatment of disease by studying the molecular bases of pathogenic viral and bacterial infections; and by expanding the basic understanding of bacterial viruses, fungi and animal cells. The Department follows in the rich tradition of such eminent alumni and members of the faculty as Hans Zinsser, John Enders, Bernard Davis, and Bernard Fields. Zinsser's groundbreaking work on rickettsial diseases led to an understanding of recurrent typhus, named Brill-Zinsser disease in his honor. Enders, a student of Zinsser, received his doctorate in Microbiology from Harvard Medical School in 1930 and served on the faculty for 37 years. His research first led to the refinement of tissue culture techniques for the study of viruses in vitro, and then, to the cultivation of polio, measles, and mumps viruses in non-nervous tissues. Enders' seminal work paved the way for the development of the polio, measles and mumps vaccines and earned him the Nobel Prize. Bernard Davis expanded our understanding of the role of antibiotics and their ability to kill bacteria. His work and the work of Luigi Gorini on streptomycin helped elucidate how this drug worked as a treatment of tuberculosis. Bernard Fields' work expanded our knowledge of the structure and genetics of animal viruses in relation to their dissemination and replication in the human host.

John Ordal [Click photo for larger image] Z. John Ordal was among the first faculty hired by Louis Howard to staff the new Department of Food Technology. He received his early education at Luther College, Iowa, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1942 in Bacteriology and Chemical Engineering. Following post-doctoral work at Ohio State University, he spent two years as an associate at the University of Illinois in the Departments of Bacteriology and Public Health. In 1946 he moved to Owens-Illinois Glass Company and in 1947 to Economics Laboratory in Minneapolis. In 1949, he came back to Urbana as associate professor of food microbiology and became a full professor in 1957. Ordal's research contributions gained him an international reputation, especially on the physiology of the bacterial spore, and the effect of physical stress on microbial cells and the conditions needed for repair or recovery. His early work on vacuum packaging of fresh meats has found wide application in the wholesale distribution of fresh meats, particularly primal cuts of fresh beef. His output of graduate students has been prodigious: 31 Ph.D. and 45 MS candidates between 1950 and 1979. He received the 1979 Becton Dickinson award from the American Society for Microbiology. He died in Urbana in 1979.

June 10, 2004 Departments Home Department Brochure Degree Programs Faculty ... Financial Aid Research History Research and teaching in immunology and infectious diseases have been integral parts of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health since its foundation in 1916 by William Henry Welch. The roots of the present department can be traced to the Department of Bacteriology, headed by Welch himself, to the nation's first separate Department of Immunology, also created by Welch, and to the Department of Medical Zoology, which has trained many of the country's leading investigators in parasitology and medical entomology. In 1922, Charles Simon introduced the first course in virology in the School. In 1953, many of these elements were combined in a single Department of Pathobiology (i.e., the biology of disease) by the distinguished virologist, Frederik Bang. The department was renamed Immunology and Infectious Diseases in 1982 and Molecular Microbiology and Immunology (MMI) in 1994. In 1996, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health named the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology in honor of W. Harry Feinstone

History of the Department of Bacteriology University of Wisconsin-Madison Early Instruction The first UW Bacteriology class taught in 1881-83 by Professor William Trealease, who incorporated bacteriology into the general botany course. This is believed to be the first bacteriology class taught at any American university. Professor Edward Birge (Botany) organized the first formal course in bacteriology in 1886. Establishment of the department and location 1914 Dept of Agricultural Bacteriology was formally established with E. G. Hastings as the first chair. 1947 Departmental name was changed from Agricultural Bacteriology to Bacteriology. The early bacteriologists were housed in South Hall. In 1903 Agriculture Hall was completed and the group moved there. The current bacteriology building was occupied in 1955.

INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY Microbiology: The study of very small living organisms. Micro means very small, bio refers to the living organisms and ology means "the study of". Thus Microbiology includes the study of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, protozoa, fungi, and viruses. Microorganisms cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope and most of us are not aware of the effect they have on our daily life. Occasionally we become aware of their effects on our body when a cut or a burn becomes infected or when we have a sore throat. Some times we hear of people getting sick after eating some food that may have been contaminated. Pathogens disease causing microorganisms. Non-pathogens beneficial or harmless microorganisms Opportunistic pathogens (Opportunists) are microbes that live on and in the healthy human body e.g. on the skin, in the mouth, and in the intestine. They are called indigenous micro flora. They ordinarily cause no harm to humans, but many of them are potentially pathogenic, and can cause disease if they gain entrance to wounds, bloodstream, or organs such as urinary bladder. Diseases caused by such microorganisms are called Infectious diseases. Microorganisms are present everywhere and with relatively few exceptions they contribute to the welfare of humans.

Introduction History Headquarters Membership ... Educational resources for schools A Short History of the SGM The Early Days The Society for General Microbiology was formally inaugurated on 16 February 1945, at a meeting of Original Members in London. Sir Alexander Fleming was elected as the first President. SGM had its origins in the (then) Society of Agricultural Bacteriologists: a number of members of that society had wished to see a broadening of its interests and scope beyond agriculture, to embrace virology, medical and agricultural bacteriology, protozoology and mycology. The idea was to bring members from different backgrounds together to gain the benefits of interdisciplinary discussion and learning from each other. This aim of the founders is still, after more than half a century, central to the ethos of SGM. It underlies the growth of the Society, from 241 Original Members, to its present position as the largest microbiological learned society in Europe, with a total membership of over 5000. Scientific Meetings and Groups The first scientific meeting of the Society took place in Cambridge in July 1945, and in 1946 the first of the continuing series of spring Symposia was held. Meetings were also held in autumn and, from 1963, winter. This programme of three main meetings per year continued until 2001, when the winter meeting was dropped. The spring and autumn meetings increased in size, with many parallel sessions.There has been further development of more specialized events such as regional meetings and advanced training workshops, and joint meetings with other societies.

Highlights in the History of Microbiology Last revised: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 Reading Ch. 2 in text Effects of Disease on Civilization Infectious diseases have played major roles in shaping human history Bubonic Plague epidemic of mid 1300's, the "Great Plague", reduced population of western Europe by 25%. Plague bacterium was carried by fleas, spread from China via trade routes and poor hygiene. As fleas became established in rat populations in Western Europe, disease became major crisis. For further reading, see " Lecture 29. Satan Triumphant: The Black Death ", from The History Guide: Lectures on Ancient and Medieval European History Smallpox and other infectious diseases introduced by European explorers to the Americas in 1500's were responsible for decimating Native American populations. Example : In the century after Hernan Cortez's arrival in Mexico, the Aztec population declined from about 20 million to about 1.6 million, mainly because of disease. Infectious diseases have killed more soldiers than battles in all wars up to WW II. Example : in U. S. Civil war, 93,000 Union soldiers died in direct combat; 210,000 died as a result of infections.
