The Louis Pasteur experiment with broth in S-shaped flasks supported the third part of cell theory, which states: All living things are made of cells. Soon after he was appointed as the dean of science faculty, he started giving milestones of his career by producing rare research theories. High-minded, idealistic, and very exciting! Watch. Pasteur is also regarded as one of the fathers of germ theory of diseases, which was a minor medical concept at the time. [51] Pasteur determined that optical activity related to the shape of the crystals, and that an asymmetric internal arrangement of the molecules of the compound was responsible for twisting the light. Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822, in the small town of Dle, France. It was clear to him that the weakened bacteria had caused the chickens to become immune to the disease.[103][106].
