How did Pasteur’s experiment finally disprove spontaneous generation?

Answer 1

Pasteur's broth cultures were filled with microorganisms when the cultures were exposed to everything. When he sterilized the broth cultures air was still able to get in, but the broth stayed clean. No microbes were found when the broth was sterilized. Therefore, microbes were not appearing by spontaneous generation.

Answer 2

Pasteur Spontaneous Generation

Answer 3

I'm not at all sure that Pasteur's experiment did disprove spontaneous generation. The end result, as you probably know was : Pastueuration of milk products and the obliteration of harmful microorganisms by heating milk to a high enough temperature to destroy them.

Answer 4

Pasteur's broth cultures only got cloudy with microorganisms when the cultures were open. When he sterilized the broth cultures and plugged the openings with cotton, air was still able to get in, but the broth stayed clear. No microbes arose when none could get in. Therefore, microbes were not arising by spontaneous generation.

Answer 5

pasteur proved that life couldn't be spontaneously generated by using various controlled beakers. he boiled half of the special formula and the other half were autoclaved which removes all life forms. the beakers with lids that were autoclaved showed no life and continue to show no life (they are displayed at a museum) thous proving that life cannot spontaneously generate

Answer 6

he kept food covered and bugs were not found in it but the ones uncovered did
