The experiments of Redi and Pasteur helped to demonstrate that all organisms come from other organisms. At the time, the prevailing theory was called "Spontaneous Generation" which assumed that organisms simply appeared. Both scientists delt with proving that, in the presence of oxygen, organisms did not grow if they were not exposed to microbe-containing air.
