| | ASM News Vol 65, Num 8, August 1999, Ferdinand Cohn, a Founder of Modern Microbiology |
 | | Ferdinand's father, Isaak Cohn, was known for his high intelligence, a strong interest in various cultural areas, and liberal views on politics. |
 | | Cohn proposed that the cuticula is instead a separate layer upon the epidermis. |
 | | In 1875 Cohn began and edited a comprehensive study of the flora of cryptogamae (lower plants, ferns, mosses, algae, characeae, and fungi) in Silesia, the results of which were subsequently compiled into three volumes, published in 1878, 1889, and 1908. |
