Pasteur introduced the terms “aerobic” and “anaerobic” to describe life forms that exist in and outside the presence of oxygen. 

He observed a phenomenon in which more alcohol was produced in the absence of oxygen when sugar is fermented. It was called the Pasteur Effect later on.

 Robert Koch proposed Koch postulate which are the corner stone of the germ theory of diseases.

Koch’s four postulates are: 

1. The organism causing the disease can be found in sick individuals but not in healthy ones. 
2. The organism can be isolated and grown in pure culture. 
3. The organism must cause the disease when it is introduced into a healthy animal. 
4. The organism must be recovered from the infected animal and shown to be the same as the organism that was introduced. 

1884 (Christian Gram)

• Developed Gram stain.

The process of conjugation in bacteria was discovered.

The proof for this is based on the generation of daughter cells that is able to grow in media that cannot support growth of either of the parent cells. 

This type of transfer however requires direct contact between bacteria.

Microorganisms were gotten as ideal devices to examine different life cycles and consequently, in achieving an autonomous control of microbiological sample, and through that, atomic science was conceived. 

The simplicity of modern technology made microorganisms have a short life expectancy .

The hereditary homogeneity a miniscule obstacle gave way to a plethora of legitimate recreated models of microorganisms to comprehend its physiological, biochemical and genetical complexities.

The field of microbiology took steps in understanding the hereditary code, how DNA is controlled, and how RNA is converted into proteins.

Microbiology in the modern world also delves into both the positive and negative impact of microorganisms in the varying aspects of human life in this world.
