CC in relation to microbiology
Chamberland's greatest contribution to science was the creation of the Chamberland filter. The filter used an unglazed porcelain bar to filter out bacteria from a solution. Chamberland also worked with Pasteur to make a vaccine for Chicken Cholera.
Other information
How was the Chicken Cholera vaccine made?
Vocab
Filtration: separation of solids from liquids
Vaccine: substance which creates or provides immunity against a particular disease/virus
Unglazed porcelain: smooth but porous which allows for some molecules to be filtered out.
Virus:infective agent which is able to multiply only in living cells of a host
Chamberland went on a vacation and forgot to inject chickens with the disease before he left, when he returned he injected the now weakened virus. After doing so he was surprised that they didn't die. After sharing with Pasteur they not only found a vaccine but discovered that weakened forms of a virus could be used as a vaccine.
