Sergei Nikolaevich Winogradsky (13 September 1856โ 24 February 1953),also published under the name Sergius Winogradsky,was a Ukrainian and Russian microbiologist, ecologist and soil scientist who pioneered the cycle-of-life concept.Winogradsky discovered the first known form of lithotrophy during his research with Beggiatoa in 1887. He reported that Beggiatoa oxidized hydrogen sulfide as an energy source and formed intracellular sulfur droplets.This research provided the first example of lithotrophy, but not autotrophy. Born in the capital of present-day Ukraine, his legacy is also celebrated by this nation.
