French mycologist (1861–1932)
Jean Paul Vuillemin (13 February 1861 – 25 September 1932 in Malzéville) was a French mycologist born in Docelles.
He studied at the University of Nancy, earning his medical doctorate in 1884. In 1892 he obtained his doctorate in sciences at the Sorbonne, and from 1895 to 1932 he was a professor of natural history at the medical faculty in Nancy.
He described the genera "Spinalia" and "Zygorhynchus". The mushroom genus "Vuilleminia" () is named after him.
In 1889 he employed the term "antibiotic" when describing the substance pyocyanin.
In 1901 he transferred the yeast-like fungus that was named "Saccharomyces hominis" by Otto Busse and "Saccharomyces neoformans" by Francesco Sanfelice to the genus "Cryptococcus" due to its absence of ascospores. The French Academy of Sciences awarded him the Prix Montagne for 1902.
In 1912 Vuillemin created the genus "Beauveria" to honor Jean Beauverie for his work the previous year on the type species - "B. bassiana" - transferring it from "Botrytis".
