He demonstrated that new bacteria appeared in broth only when they were produced by living bacteria. The experiments of Redi and Pasteur helped to convince people that living things do not arise from nonliving material.
Francesco Redi, in 1668, showed that abiogenesis of maggots did not occur, and further experiments by Lazzaro Spallanzani (1768) and Louis Pasteur (1861) showed that many of the lifeforms thought "created" were those already invisibly present in the air or in other materials.

M. Louis Pasteur showed that microorganisms are born of other microorganisms in water and air (i learned this in grade 8) Um excuse me, this is actually the conclusion that was drawn, not the results of the experiment, so please get your facts straight

People did not know the way that cells worked. They thought that living things just showed up and that they did not come from other living things.
He had two bulbs of broth, one boiled and the other plain. After his expiriment, the unboiled bulb had bacteria in it. Louis Pasteur Proved that bacteria can only be produced by existing bacteria.

In 1668, Italian physician Francesco Redi first performed tests with rotting meat that showed that maggots did not form spontaneously as was previously thought. It suggested that living things could only be formed from living things of the same type. Louis Pasteur in 1861 improved upon the experiments of John Needham, who in 1745 had suggested that living things could form despite sterilization of the medium. Pasteur boiled solutions in beakers that had necks shaped like an S, so that airborne microorganisms could not reach the solution past the neck. Mold did not appear in the unexposed liquid that was boiled, but did in the solution that was exposed to bacteria from the air.
