Introduction
Mids-1600s and an English scientist named Robert Hooke made observations. He observed strands of fungi among the specimens of cell his viewed. Robert Hooke in 1665 reported that living things were composed of title boxes or cells. He then devised the compound microscope and illumination system and stated that microbes were a life’s smallest structural units were cells.
Then in 1670s, decades after, Dutch merchant named Anton van Leeuwenhoek made careful observations of microscopic organisms. Leeuwenhoek’s microscope that was created by him are composed of one lens. On 1674, Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria, and he called them animalcules. Until his death in 1723, Leeuwenhoek revealed the microscopic world to scientist of the day and is regarded as one of the first to provide accurate descriptions of protozoa, fungi and bacteria. After he died, the microbiology did not develop rapidly because microscopes were rare, but on those years Francesco Redi disputed the theory of spontaneous generation, that microorganism arise from lifeless matter such as beef broth. …show more content…
Many microbial disease been discovered during that period leading to the decreasing of human population on that time. After the World War II, antibiotics were introduced to medicine. In the 1940s, electron microscope was developed and perfected and followed by development of vaccine.
Then until now, microbes were used into many fields of human beings, including the development of pharmaceutical products, the use of quality controls methods in food and dairy products, the control of disease-causing microorganism in consumable waters, and
