Konstantin Sergejewitsch Mereschkowski
Konstantin Sergejewitsch Mereschkowski (in Russian КонстантинСергеевичМережковский) is a Russian biologist , born in 1855 with Saint-Pétersbourg and died in 1921 with Geneva.
He studies with the Université of Saint-Pétersbourg and obtains in 1880 a title of doctor. Of 1902 with 1914, it is Privatdozent and professor of Microbiologie at the university of Kazan before emigrating in Geneva in 1917.
Mereschkowski is the first to put forth the assumption that the Chloroplaste S originate in of the autonomous Cyanobactérie S which were integrated tardily in the vegetable cell. If its assumption receives, in 1905 at the time of its publication, a favorable reception, it falls nevertheless into the lapse of memory. Its theory is ressuscitée by the biologist Lynn Margulis (1938-) who emits the Hypothèse of the endosymbiose, today accepted by many biologists. Mereschkowski has the appearance of a pioneer thus.
