1. This scientist created glass magnifying lenses that were used in the first microscopes.
2. This scientist discovered many microbes by obse ving pond water with his newly created
glass lenses.
3. This scientist used raw meat to prove that flies were the source of maggots du ing decay.
This scientist initially challenged A istotle's "spontaneous generation"
4. This scientist expe imented with boiled beef and plant gravy in which he sealed the flasks
after boiling but obse ved bacte ial growth in the flasks (cloudiness).
5. This scientist completed an expe iment where he boiled beef and plant broth, sealed the
flasks carefully, and dete mined that bacte ia only grew in the flasks if the seal was broken.
6. This scientist is credited with the creation of the swan necked flask for expe iments used to
disprove spontaneous generation.
7. This scientist found that when yeast cells were introduced to grape juice alcohol was
produced and when bacte ial cells were introduced into grape juice acids were produced.
8. This scientist was influential in disease etiology.
9. This scientist dete mined that Anthrax was caused by a bacte ium.
10. This scientist developed a set of cultu ing methods for bacte ial cultures.
11. This scientist encouraged hand washing amongst practitioners to decrease the spread of
disease from patient to patient in hospital settings.
12. This scientist introduced antisepsis into hospitals when carbolic acid or phenol was used on
surgical wounds to decrease the chance of microbial growth and infection. He introduced
aseptic techniques to reduce microbes in medical settings and prevent wound infections.
13. This scientist tested the cowpox vaccine for protection against small pox and was influential
in the field of immunology.
14. This scientist realized that microbes would be a great source to utilize for understanding the
biochemical processes of life. Put only first scientist on list although van Niel is credited with
this as well)
15. This scientist worked hard to dete mine the domains of life and found that different species
had different nucleic acid sequences. Give only the first scientist from the list although Fox is
credited with this as well)
16. This scientist discovered Penicillin in 1929.
17. This scientist is credited with the differential Gram stain for bacte ial identification.
18. This scientist created the first microscope that was nothing more than a magnifying glass
with screws for manipulating the specimen. He repo ted the existence of bacte ia in the
1600's.
19. Who was the Dutch scientist who made and used magnifying lenses to see and record
microorganisms that he te med beasties?
20. Which scientist considered the small organisms he found "beasties"?

was proposed by _______________.
23. This scientists discove ies suggested a method to prevent the spoilage of wine by heating
the grape juice just enough to kill contaminating bacte ia. The process of pasteu ization,
requires the use of heat to kill pathogens and reduce the number of spoilage microorganisms
in food and beverages.
24. One of this scientists greatest achievements was the elaboration, in his publications on
tuberculosis, of a set of steps that must be taken to prove the cause of any infectious
disease. These are considered postulates)

scientist? 1. The suspected causative agent must be found in eve y case of the disease and
be absent from healthy hosts. 2. The agent must be isolated and grown outside the host. 3.

the bacte ial cell wall for an organism as the scientist can distinguish between "+" and "-"
organisms based on either a purple or pink color of organism on the slide when viewed under
the microscope.

students to wash their hands in chlo inated lime water before attending bi ths.

dete mined these fo ms to be heat-resistant bacte ial endospores.

gave bi th in hospitals.
30. This scientist co related infections with physicians coming directly from the autopsy room to
the mate nity ward.
