  Heinrich Anton De Bary - LoveToKnow 1911
HEINRICH ANTON DE BARY (1831-1888), German botanist, was of Belgian extraction, though his family had long been settled in Germany, and was born on the 26th of January 1831, at Frankfort-on-Main.
These researches led to the explanation of epidemic diseases, and de Bary's contributions to this subject were fundamental, as witness his classical work on the potato disease in 1861.
It is difficult to estimate the relative importance of de Bary's astoundingly accurate work on the sexuality of the Fungi.

 Heinrich Anton de Bary
King-Thom Chung, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Cell Sciences, The University of Memphis, Memphis, TN Heinrich Anton de Bary is a pioneer in the study of fungi and algae.
De Bary spent a considerable amount of time studying the morphology of fungi and noticed that certain forms, which had been classified as separate species, were actually successive stages of development of the same organism.
De Bary studied the developmental history of Myxomycetes (slime molds), and thought it was necessary to reclassify the lower animals.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Freiburg
The idea was first conceived by Mechtild, the accomplished wife of Albrecht, and it was at her suggestion that he resolved to found the university, having obtained the sanction of Callistus III in the Bull of 20 April, 1455.
The revenue of the university was ensured by the foundation of several benefices, and the incorporation of the cathedral parish of Freiburg, together with the parishes of Breisach, Ensisheim, and other places, in the new institution (Deed of 28 August, 1456), this endowment being approved by Frederick III.
The expenditure, which equalled the income, was as follows: 475,600 marks for salaries of regular professors and officials; 132,200 for the extraordinary staff; 335,900 for the different institutions, and the remainder for sundry expenses.

On the occasion of the silver anniversary of the International Mycological Association, two silver medals were established by the Officers and Executive Committee: the Ainsworth Medal in recognition of extraordinary service to world mycology and the de Bary Medal in recognition of lifetime research contributions to mycology.
The medal for lifetime research achievements is named for Anton de Bary, who not only began a modern era in fungal research, but also was responsible for training students from throughout the world to disseminate mycological knowledge broadly.
The first Ainsworth and de Bary Medals were presented at a meeting held in Sheffield in April 1996 on the occasion of the Centenary of the British Mycological Society to recognize the unique contribution that British mycologists have made to their science.

Finally in 1853, Anton de Bary, a German Botanist, proved the role of a fungus in the blight.
de Bary's experiments triggered major advances in plant disease research and in human and animal disease research as well.
So de Bary created the genus Phytophthora, and named the fungus Phytophthora infestans, (phyto=plant and phthora=destroyer and infestans suggested the devastation of the disease).

de BARY was not satisfied with study-trips to the habitats of the different states of development of the fungi alone but did also cultivate single species in order to study their whole developement.
He, too, succeeded in the observation of the penetration of parasitic fungi into healthy plants and animals and could show that fungi can exist in living plant material.

The German scientist Anton de Bary first coined the name Phytophthora (ôplant destroyerö) in 1876, when he described the potato late blight fungus, Phytophthora infestans, as the type species for the new genus (Zentmyer 1983).
He unveiled the full life cycle of the fungus (Dowley 1997) and was the first person to conduct extensive, controlled experiments with the fungus in potato (Alexopoulos et al.
The science of plant pathology was born and the fungus got its final title of Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary (Dowley 1997).

Even as recently as 1800, it was believed that fungi found on diseased plants were part of the dying tissue of the sick plant, and it would not be until 1861 that Anton de Bary would demonstrate, conclusively that the Late Blight of Potato disease was due to the fungal pathogen, Phytophthora infestans.
Keep in mind that this was 200 years before Anton De Bary's discovery that fungi were capable of causing diseases.
Once again, It was Anton de Bary who discovered all of the spore stages and determined that the disease required barberry as an alternate host.

 Introduction to Symbiosis
The first usage is attributed to the German mycologist, Anton de Bary, who used the term in a paper on lichens titled "The phenomenon of symbiosis".
De Bary's original use of the term defined symbiosis in the broadest possible way as "the living together of differently named organisms".
He included in his definition all cases of intimate associations between species, such as epiphytes growing on trees, insects pollinating flowers, parasitism, mutualism and commensalism.

A botanist, Dr. Miles Berkeley, timidly suggested the white fuzz of the fungus growing on the potatoes was the cause, not the result of the disease.
It wasn’t until several years later the botanist Anton De Bary, using the scientific method, proved the fungus named Phytophthora infestans was the cause of potato late blight.
From then on the cause of plant diseases was known to be microorganisms rather than theology, hearsay, witchcraft, or spontaneous generation.

 The Synergism Hypothesis
The homeobox refers a distinctive DNA segment, consisting of some 60 amino acids, that are found in all of the so-called homeotic genes and, remarkably, have been conserved over many millions of years of evolution in organisms ranging from fruit flies to humans.
The term symbiosis is also of Greek origin; it means "living together." It was introduced into biology as a technical term by the pioneering German mycologist Anton de Bary (1879), who employed it to denote the living together of "dissimilar" or "differently named" organisms in lasting and intimate relationships.
De Bary's focus was on relationships, and the paradigmatic examples, both in de Bary's time and ever since, are lichens (although de Bary also included in his definition what would now be called parasitic relationships).

We defer to Anton de Bary's original definition of symbiosis, i.e., dissimilar species that live in close and intimate contact with one another.
(This use of the term symbiosis stands in contrast to some of the newer definitions that equate symbiosis with mutualism.) It turns out that de Bary's definition of symbiosis describes a wide class of mechanisms that organisms use for adaptive strategies.
Many of these mechanisms exhibit great leverage: the behavior of the whole of a symbiont-host system often exceeds the behavior exhibited by either host or symbiont alone.

The concept and term symbiosis are attributed to the German mycologist Anton de Bary who, in 1879, defined it to cover any close interspecific association.
Symbiosis literally means 'living together' and de Bary explicitly included commensalism, mutualism and parasitism.

 Discover: Is nature really red in tooth and claw? - importance of cooperation in nature
The neglect of nature's cooperative side is all the more surprising when you consider that even the most extreme form of togetherness--the symbiotic alliance of two entirely different species--was recognized well over a century ago.
(The Greek word symbiosis--meaning "to live together"--was first used in biology by the German botanist Heinrich Anton de Bary in 1879.) Yet for reasons that had less to do with science than with history, most scientists and thinkers chose to ignore the phenomenon.
Strikingly, those who did appreciate the degree of cooperation going on in the natural world were often those who espoused a vision of cooperation in human society--notably the gentle nineteenth-century Russian revolutionary Pyotr Kropotkin, the German socialist Friedrich Engels, and, in the 1940s, the American Quaker Warder C. Allee.
