Google has celebrated the birth of the inventor of the petri dish, Julius Richard Petri, who was born on May 31, 1852 with a doodle on its home page.
He studied medicine at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Academy for Military Physicians in Berlin and later worked at the Imperial Health Office with Robert Koch who is considered the father of modern bacteriology.
The doodle features six petri dishes which are swabbed by a hand. Images of bacteria grow and spread in the dishes.
Petri was not the first to use agar, a substance made from algae, to culture bacteria but he invented the standard dish in which it was done. The petri dish allowed for the better identification of bacteria and the diseases they caused. Petri dishes later moved from the laboratory to the class room where they are used by every pupil of biology.
Petri died on December 20, 1921..

Google is commemorating the achievements of the scientist Julius Richard Petri today with a Google Doodle that shows his invention - the Petri dish - in action.
Today would have been the German bacteriologist's 160th birthday. In the animation on the Google homepage, the word 'Google' is replaced with a series of the dishes in the Google colours. A hand appears, swabbing each of them, then you can watch as the bacteria grow.
The dishes are ubiquitous - familiar to anyone with lab experience from school to advanced biotech: transparent plates with small walls, used for culturing cells. Invented while Petri was assistant to Robert Koch, the father of modern bacteriology, the dish allowed scientists to purify or clone bacterial colonies derived from single cells, allowing them to identify the bacteria causing diseases - a simple idea that paved the way for countless discoveries and advances.
Petri died in 1921, aged 69.

Today, Google via their home page doodle celebrates the birth of Julius Richard Petri who invented the petri dish.
Julius Richard Petri was born on May 31, 1852 and died on December 20, 1921.
He would have been 160 years old today.
Petri studied medicine at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Academy for Military Physicians in Berlin . He then went on to work at the Imperial Health Office with Robert Koch who is considered the father of modern bacteriology.
Google's doodle features six petri dishes which when one clicks on the play button are swabbed by a hand. Images of bacteria grow and spread in the dishes. These bacteria go on to form the alphabeths that spell Google.
It is interesting to note that Petri was not the first to use agar, a substance made from algae to grow bacteria but he invented the standard dish in which it was done.
The petri dish helps scientists and researchers to better identify bacteria and the diseases they caused. Petri dishes later moved from the laboratory to classrooms where they are used by every student of biology for various experiments.

Born on May 31, 1852, Petri studied medicine at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Academy for Military Physicians in Berlin. He later worked at the Imperial Health Office with Robert Koch who is considered the father of modern bacteriology.
Petri is known to have invented the petri dish in the year 1877 when he was working as an assistant to Robert. He was not the first to use agar to culture bacteria, but he is credited to have invented the standard dish in which it was done. The petri dish allowed for the better identification of bacteria and the diseases they caused.
Petri dishes later moved from the laboratory to classrooms where they are used by every student of biology for various experiments. They are used everywhere from school labs for conducting experiments by students to research facilities where they're used by bacteriologists and other scientists.
The invention paved the way for further research allowing scientists to identify microbes that cause diseases.

Google on Friday marked the 161st birth anniversary of Julius Richard Petri, a German bacteriologist, with an animated doodle.
Julius Richard Petri was born on May 31, 1852 in Barmen, studied medicine and received his medical degree in 1876. In his career, till 1882, he actively served as a military physician.
He also worked at the Imperial Health Office in Berlin as an assistant.
Petri's contribution was the invention and development of culture dish or Petri plate, a technique to culture bacteria on agar (a substance made from algae) plates that helped to identify the bacteria responsible for diseases. In the contemporary times, biologists use the petri dish to culture cells.
Petri breathed his last on December 20, 1921.
Today's Google doodle features six animated petri dishes swabbed by a hand to commemorate his birthday.
On hovering the mouse cursor on the plates it displays a sock, a door knob, a computer keyboard, a drooling dog, a plant in the rain and a dish being washed by a sponge.
