 First to describe inclusion bodies
 Negri bodies: rabies (1903)
 Guarnieri bodies : small-pox (1894)
 1914: Published on chlorophyll
 1902-03: Head, Dept. of Botany,

 1907: Professor, Plant Physiology
Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant
Dmitrii Ivanowski
 Described tobacco disease
 Collaboration with Mr. Polowzow
 Pock-disease (or pox-disease)
 Causes
 Announced supposition to Mayer
 Comprises two entirely different diseases
 Entirely different origin
Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant
 Pock-disease:
 Second phase
 Non-infectious
 Brown spots, wide holes
 No traces of mosaic on young leaves
 Cause: restriction of transpiration
 Found in Datura stramonium, Hyoscyamus niger
& many other plants of family Solanaceae
(controversy with Mayer)
Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant
 Mosaic disease:
 First phase
 Entirely independent
 Infectious
 Description correspond to Mayer
 Appearance of diseased plants
 Course of development of disease
 Distribution on plantation
 Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant
 Confirm Mayer’s work;
 Disease plants sap is infectious
 Heating disease plants sap to boiling point
loses its infectious qualities.
 Absence of fungi & other parasites
 Infection through bacteria
Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant
 Contradicted Mayer’s statement
 Mayer: sap of infected leaves loses all its infectious
qualities after filtration through double filter paper
 Filtered extract introduced into healthy plants
produces symptoms of disease just as surely as does
unfiltered sap.
 Mayer: mosaic disease is caused by bacteria
 Double layer of filter paper cannot hold back bacteria
 But rather caused by fungi whose spores cannot pass
through filter paper
 Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant
 Sap of infected leaves retained its
infectious qualities even after
filtration through Chamberland
filter-candles.
 Assumption of toxin secreted by
bacteria present or bacteria
penetrated through pores of
Chamberland filter-candles
