Pasteur’s experiment on spontaneous generation contributed to the methodology ofmicrobiology, understanding of the origin of life, and technique for the preservation offood. Explain briefly how Pasteur’s experiments affected each of these topics.
Describe one experimental difference between the experiments of Spallanzani and Pasteur (i.e. what was
different between the 2 experiments in terms of their procedures).
Describe the four major events in the early history of microbiology. Define spontaneous generation and outline the experiment by Pasteur that refuted spontaneous generation.
Describe the three major events discussed in the “Golden age” of microbiology. Define chemotherapy. List the key figures and their contributions to the discovery of antibiotics.
