Schottmullera bacteria

Scottish bacteriologist Robert Schottmuller in 1895 discovered a bacterium that is now called after him - Schottmuller's bacterium.

Robert Schottmuller was born in 1867 in Glasgow, Scotland. At the age of 19, he entered the medical faculty of the University of Glasgow, where he studied anatomy, physiology and pathology. After graduating from university, he began working as a doctor in a Glasgow hospital.

In 1887, Schottmüller began studying bacteria under the guidance of the famous bacteriologist Robert Koch. He conducted research in the field of bacteriology and immunology. In 1893, he published his first scientific work, in which he described a new species of bacteria, which was later named after him.

After the discovery of Schottmuller's bacterium, Robert Schottmuller continued his scientific activities and became one of the leading bacteriologists of his time. He studied bacteria that cause diseases in humans and animals. He also studied the mechanisms of the body's immune response to infections.

The Schottmuller bacterium was named after Robert Schottmuller for his contributions to science. It is a gram-positive rod with rounded ends and is one of the most studied species of bacteria. The Schottmuller bacterium causes diseases in humans and animals, such as anthrax, tuberculosis, diphtheria and others.
