The pasteur salts in solution act as a buffer to any acids the yeast may create. Since yeast only converts sugar (most likely sucrose or glucose) to ethanol under anaerobic conditions, and it is unreasonable to assume that there will be no oxygen present in the laboratory, some acetic acid is created as a result. The pasteur salts act as buffers to the acidity so that the proteins in the yeast do not become denatured. Hope this was the answer you were looking for
Louis Pasteur is called the Father of Bacteriology because he discovered the role of bacteria in fermentation. Pasteur experimented with bacteria and his tests conclusively disproved the theory of spontaneous generation and led to the theory that infection is caused by germs. Pasteur used this knowledge to then develop a process in which liquids such as milk were heated to kill all bacteria and moulds already present within them. This process became known as pasteurisation. Pasteur extrapolated further from this information, recognising that infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms. He was the founder of the field of bacteriology because his research led other scientists to investigate sterilisation, disinfection, vaccines, and eventually antibiotics. Pasteur created and tested vaccines for diphtheria, cholera, yellow fever, plague, rabies, anthrax, and tuberculosis.
His father wasn't well educated but he wanted Louis to get a good education. He studied in the College of Arbois, where he graduated in arts in 1840. Louis paid little attention to his books. He dedicated himself to fishing and sketching. For a time it seemed as though he would become a painter. Then, he became interested in science and went to the College of Besancon, and there he received his degree in science. He then went on to Paris to study under Dumas, Balard, and Biot.

Yes, Louis Pasteur is famous. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pasteur
Eventually, all of them. But of the five he fathered, only two survived to become adults.
Pasteur's experiment permitted air from the outside to mix with air from the inside, which would have allowed any "vital force" to enter and cause the broth to become cloudy if there were such a "vital force.

# Pasteurized milk - making it more commercially viable # Immunization against Small Pox # Immunization against Rabies and more - others can contribute.

Louis Pasteur has many contributions in bacteriology, germ theory of diseases, vaccination, fermentation, etc.

Joseph Meister was the first person to be treated from rabies. He was treated by Louis Pasteur. Joseph Meister was a 9-year-old boy who had been attacked by a rabid dog (which he had provoked by poking it with a stick), an automatic death sentence at the time (1885). Louis Pasteur administered an early, experimental version of his rabies vaccine to Meister, who survived - the first person in history so treated. Good thing it worked: Pasteur was not a licensed physician, and could have been prosecuted, but since he saved the boy from an inevitable, agonizing death, legalities were overlooked and he became a national hero. Meister went on to become somewhat of a hero himself, as the caretaker at the Pasteur Institute: In 1940, he committed suicide at age 64 by shooting himself with his WWI service revolver, rather than allow the Wehrmacht to enter the Pasteurs' crypt.
