Spontaneous generation Biogenesis

14
* In ‘A’ air freely moved through the tube, but dust
particles were trapped in the curved portion of the flask.
And no microbial growth was observed
.

15
Therefore, Pasteur proved that microorganisms entered
to the broth with the air and micro organisms did not
evolve spontaneously
16
Germ theory of Diseases
 One pathogen: one disease
 Developed by Louis Pasteur
 The experimental procedure is set by Robert
Koch
