Who is Louis pesteur and what did he discover about yeast?
Pasteur showed the yeast to be an organism which, however, did not require oxygen for fermentation to occur. This showed Justus von Liebig who had maintained the fermentation was purely chemical, to have been mistaken. Pasteur demonstrated that mild heating applied after fermentation would kill the microorganisms and prevent souring. This gentle heating has come to be known as pasteurization. With a specially-constructed bent flask, Pasteur demonstrated conclusively that decay was produced by air-borne microorganisms. This refuted the doctrine of spontaneous generation
