thanks so much for that info !!!! i collected some for you 🙂
in about 3,000 bc people started using herbal medicines and in the early 19th century when chemical analysis first became available scientists began to extract and modify the active ingredients from plants (i found this so interesting) and although people started to use them it wasnt until alot later that the worked out which worked and which didn’t, later when foods and production of antibiotics, probiotics, drugs, vaccines, starter cultures, insecticides, enzymes, fuels and solvents where made in factories they used bacteria in certain plants to slow down or destroy the groth of bacteria !!!! intersting you mentioned my all time favourite scientest Alexander Fleming, i worked on him as an extention work. he made his descoverys quite by accident i believe? when he discovered microbs he had left a load of plates on his desk which created a bacteria-free circle around itself? that may not be true but it is what i believe he did anyway!!?! have you ever found anything out by accident? hope you found this as interesting as i did !!!!
