Zusammenfassung

Laut Flügge (1896) wurden die Bakterienendosporen 1852 von Perty zuerst gesehen, von Pasteur und Billroth in ihrer Bedeutung gewürdigt und 1876 von F. Cohn in ihren Haupteigenschaften beschrieben. Spätere Autoren (z. B. Brunstetter und Magoon 1932) hielten F. Cohn und R. Koch für die Entdecker der Bakterien-Endosporen. R. Koch war zweifellos der erste, der die Sporenbildung bei einem pathogenen Bacterium, Bacillus anthracis, entdeckte (1877). Einige amerikanische Autoren (Young und Fitz-James 1959a) gingen so weit, daß sie die Sporenforschung in drei Epochen einteilten: I. R. Koch bis J. M. Lewis. Die Monographie von Lewis (1941) bedeutete nach ihnen die „Kulmination“ der I. Epoche. Die III. Periode der Sporenforschung beginnt, laut diesen Autoren, mit der fast allgemein gewordenen Ansicht, wonach die Sporen Kernäquivalente besitzen (Robinow 1956a).

Die eigenen Arbeiten wurden mit Hilfe des Arbeitsamtes des Bundes (Schweiz) durchgeführt.
