  • Title: Robert Koch: the grandfather of cloning?
    Author: Weiss RA.
    Journal: Cell; 2005 Nov 18; 123(4):539-42. PubMed ID: 16286000.
    Abstract:
    This year marks the centenary of Robert Koch's Nobel Prize for discovering the cause of tuberculosis. Koch was also the first scientist to isolate the anthrax and cholera microbes. Yet perhaps one of his greatest contributions to biology is the least appreciated: his method for propagating individual colonies of bacteria on plates, a technique that came to be called cloning.
