Abstract
Since his discovery of chemosynthesis in 1890, Vinogradskii had enjoyed an international reputation as a leading scientific figure and his second career with the Pasteur Institute only enhanced his reputation. There he pushed soil microbiology in a new direction and helped launch the field of ecological microbiology. The enthusiastic reception of his work in the twentieth century was based in part on the enduring significance of his earlier discoveries in the late nineteenth century, especially his discovery of autotrophism and his conception of global nutrient cycles.
