Ferdinand Julius Cohn (, Microbacteria , Desmobacteria , and Spirobacteria . In 1885 he received the Leeuwenhoek Medal . He is also known for his description of the life cycle of Bacillus and for showing that it changes from a vegetative state to an Endospore when subjected to a "hostile" environment (e.g., high heat). Therefore, sterilization by boiling is not effective. It will only kill the bacteria in the vegetative state and the endospores remain viable. EXTERNAL LINKS : : |
