Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur was born in Dole on December 27,1822.He was a French chemist and biologist.
In 1847 he earned a doctorate at the Ecole Normale in Paris,with a focus on both physics and
chemistry.In 1854 he worked on bacteria. He found that the desired production of alcohol in
fermentation is indeed due to yeast. The undesired one is due to the presence of additional organisms
such as bacteria.
Because he was aware of the presence of microorganisms in nature,in1864 Pasteur undrtook
several experiments to find out where these germscame from.
In 1865 he found a method to destroy harmful bacteria without materially changing the
composition,flavor,or nutritive value of the liquid.The process aws named after him,pasteurization.
Pasteur also determine the natural history of anthrax,a fatal disease of cattle. He proved that
anthrax is caused by a particular bacillus.He suggested that animals could be given anthrax in a mild
form by vaccinating them with weakened bacilli. This vaccine provided immunity from potentially
fatal attacks.

microbiology,proved the germ theory of disease,invited the process of pasteirization,and developed
vaccines for several diseases,including rabies.
