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.
