Yes, Alexander Fleming was a microbiologist. Alexander Fleming observed that the mold (fungus) Penicillium inhibited the growth of a bacterial culture. He named the active ingredient penicillium in 1928.

Absolutely. He was studied bacteria when he accidentally studied the antibiotic action of a substance in Penicillium mold.

I'm not sure if he's a MICRObiologist but he's definitely a biologist.
