About this book

Summary

The History of Microbiology explores humanity’s discovery of the unseen world. From Leeuwenhoek’s first microscopic observations to Pasteur’s germ theory and Fleming’s penicillin, scientists uncovered microbes that shape health, disease, and the planet. The 20th century introduced molecular biology, genetics, and antibiotics, revealing DNA as life’s blueprint. Biotechnology and genetic engineering then transformed microbes into tools for producing medicine, food, and clean energy. Today, microbiology extends to oceans, space, and climate research, showing that microbes sustain life on Earth and beyond. The tiniest forms of life remain humanity’s greatest teachers and allies.
