He received his diploma in biology on November 27, 1980 based on his paper Cell Yields and Fermentation Products in the Growth of Clostridium Acetobutylicum in Continuous Culture , his major was microbiology, minor subjects were biochemistry and organic chemistry . He was looked after by Gerhard Gottschalk . But He graduated in 1983 from, because on April 28, he became the Doctor of Science in these subjects doctorate . His dissertation, Continuous Acetone-Butanol Fermentation by Clostridium acetobutylicum, was also written under the supervision of Gottschalk.

As a result, Bahl worked as a research assistant at the university's microbiological institute until August 1984 .

On 1 April 1996 finally appointed him Rostock University for Professor on the Chair for general and special microbiology.
