Whose work proved conclusively that spontaneous generation of life from non-life was not possible?

Louis Pasteur was the one who used a swan necked flask to show that when particles were not allowed to touch boiled broth, it would not turn cloudy, but that when it was open to air, cloudiness quickly appeared.


What was the effect on Pasteur's investigations on scientists' ideas and people's lives?

Pasteur proved the germ theory at the same time disproving the theory of spontaneous generation. Pasteur's research showed that the growth of microorganisms was responsible for spoiling beverages, such as beer, wine and milk. Beverage contamination led Pasteur to the idea that microorganisms infecting animals and humans cause disease. He invented artificially weakened bacteria for anthrax vaccinations in cattle and invented rabies vaccine. Because of his study in germs, Pasteur encouraged doctors to sanitize their hands and equipment before surgery. Prior to this, few doctors or their assistants practiced the procedure of washing their hands and equipment. Vaccines and antiseptics brought great advances in medicine, leading to higher survival rates and extended life expectancy.


What scientist responsible for disproving the theory of spontaneous generation?

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.

When was the germ theory discovered?

Louis Pasteur was the first man to stumble across the germ theory, and was discovered in 1861. This then led to many other diseases being found as everyone know knew that germs caused disease. Robert Koch was one of these scientists and he found the cure for two of the most deadliest diseases from the time: cholera and TB (tuberculosis), with the help from a microsope he was able to isolate the germ that caused the disease and so other scientists could then work on how to cure the diseases.
