  1. Pasteur's Experiment

    The steps of Pasteur's experiment are outlined below: First, Pasteur prepared a nutrient broth similar to the broth one would use in soup. Next, he placed equal amounts of the broth into two long-necked flasks. He left one flask with a straight neck. The other he bent to form an "S" shape. Then he boiled the broth in each flask to kill any ...

  2. 1.1C: Pasteur and Spontaneous Generation

    Louis Pasteur's 1859 experiment is widely seen as having settled the question. In summary, Pasteur boiled a meat broth in a flask that had a long neck that curved downward, like a goose. The idea was that the bend in the neck prevented falling particles from reaching the broth, while still allowing the free flow of air.

  3. Louis Pasteur

    Louis Pasteur (born December 27, 1822, Dole, France—died September 28, 1895, Saint-Cloud) was a French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. Pasteur's contributions to science, technology, and medicine are nearly without precedent.

    Louis Pasteur - Microbiology, Germ Theory, Pasteurization: Fermentation and putrefaction were often perceived as being spontaneous phenomena, a perception stemming from the ancient belief that life could generate spontaneously. During the 18th century the debate was pursued by the English naturalist and Roman Catholic divine John Turberville Needham and the French naturalist Georges-Louis ...

  17. Louis Pasteur: Between Myth and Reality

    " The tactic followed by Mr. Pasteur is to communicate only what speaks in his favor about an experiment, and to ignore the facts which are unfavorable to him even when those are decisive for the purpose of the experiment. Such methods may be appropriate when it comes to advertising in business, but science must vigorously reject them.
