Louis Pasteur
Ignaz Spallazani
Robert Koch
Franscisco Redi
Solution
The answer is the third one (or C): Robert Koch.
Explanation for each option:
Louis Pasteur: While Louis Pasteur made significant contributions to microbiology and developed the germ theory of disease, he was not the first to isolate microbes from disease victims of anthrax.
Ignaz Spallazani: Ignaz Spallazani was known for his work in disproving spontaneous generation, but he did not isolate microbes from anthrax victims.
Robert Koch: Robert Koch was the first person to isolate Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, from disease victims. His work laid the foundation for the discovery of many pathogens and the development of Koch's postulates.
Franscisco Redi: Francisco Redi is known for his experiments that challenged the theory of spontaneous generation, but he did not isolate microbes from anthrax victims.
Summary:
Robert Koch was the first person to isolate microbes from disease victims of anthrax in the laboratory and laid the foundation for the discovery of many pathogens.
