| Contribution | Saw microbes in spoiled wine. |
| Reference | Anon. |
| Notes | The microbes he saw in spoiled wine at his home in Arbois, were similar to those he had just discovered as lactic acid producers in milk. This, and earlier work at Lille, "probably" gave him the insight that "diseases" of wine were due to germs other than yeast (Dubos). |
