| Title | Twort, Frederick William: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Citation | Distinguished for his highly original bacteriological researches, the result of which have been uniformly confirmed. Specially distinguished (1) for his discovery that the fermentations of bacteria are not fixed and may be acquired artificially; (2) for his work on John's disease in cattle. He was the first to cultivate the microbe of this important disease, and his claim is universally recognised; (3) was the first to discover the exsistence of a filter-passing lysin and described its fundamental properties. This action is everywhere known as the Twort-D'Herelle phenomenon. |
