what did pasteur invent?

Louis Pasteur was a French microbiologist and chemist.\nHe is known most famously for his demonstrations supporting the germ theory of disease and his vaccinations, most notably the first vaccine against rabies.\n\n\nPasteur's research also showed that some microorganisms contaminated fermenting beverages. With this established, he invented a process in which liquids such as milk were heated to kill all bacteria and molds already present within them. He and Claude Bernard completed the first test on April 20, 1862. This process was soon afterwards known as pasteurization\n\nIn 1865, two parasitic diseases called pébrine and flacherie were killing great numbers of silkworms. Pasteur worked several years proving it was a microbe attacking silkworm eggs which caused the disease, and that eliminating this microbe within silkworm nurseries would eradicate the disease.\n\nPasteur also discovered anaerobiosis, whereby some microorganisms can develop and live without air or oxygen.

History of the concept: Aristotle, Pasteur, Darwin, Oparin\n\nFrom its first formulation by Aristotle in the 4th century BC it was an article of both common and learned belief, at least in Europe, that complex living organisms arose spontaneously from non-living matter - fleas and adult mice from dirty laundry and from piles of wheat, maggots and flies from rotting meat, aphids from drops of dew. Life, in short, came about by spontaneous generation, or abiogenesis. Holes began to be knocked in Aristotle's dictum by early biologists in the 18th century, but not until the meticulous experiments of Louis Pasteur in 1862 was it finally established that a truly sterile medium would remain forever sterile, and that complex living organisms come only from other complex living organisms. The "Law of Biogenesis", (omne vivum ex ovo or "all life from an egg") based on his work is now a cornerstone of modern biology.\n\nThe modern science of abiogenesis addresses a fundamentally different question: the ultimate origin of life itself. Pasteur had proved that abiogenesis was impossible for complex organisms. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution put forward a mechanism whereby such organisms might evolve over millennia from simple forms, but it did not address the original spark, as it were, from which even simple organisms might have arisen. Darwin was aware of the problem. In a letter to J.D. Hooker of February 1, 1871, he made the suggestion that life may have begun in a "warm little pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, lights, heat, electricity, etc. present, [so] that a protein compound was chemically formed ready to undergo still more complex changes". He went on to explain that "at the present day such matter would be instantly devoured or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed." In other words the presence of life itself prevents the spontaneous generation of simple organic compounds from occurring on Earth today - a circumstance which makes the search for the first life dependent on the laboratory.\n\nThe answer to Darwin's question was beyond the reach of the experimental science of his day, and no real progress was made during the 19th century. In 1936 Aleksandr Ivanovich Oparin, in his "The Origin of Life on Earth", demonstrated that, pace Pasteur, it was the presence of atmospheric oxygen, and other more sophisticated life-forms that prevented the chain of events that would lead to the evolution of life. Oparin argued that a "primeval soup" of organic molecules could be created in an oxygen-less atmosphere, through the action of sunlight. These, he suggested, combine in ever-more complex fashion until they are dissolved into a coacervate droplet. These droplets, he suggested, "grow" by fusion with other droplets, and "reproduce" through fission into daughter droplets, and so have a primitive metabolism in which those factors which promote "cell integrity" survive, those that don't become extinct. All modern theories of the origin of life take Oparin's ideas as a starting point.

Perhaps the most famous of these experiments is called the Miller-Urey experiment. Using water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen to simulate primordial earth, and a little electrical coaxing, Miller managed to form 13 of the 21 amino acids organisms use to build proteins, and nucleic acids, mostly in the form of adenine.\n\nThere are some caveats, whether this is actually the composition of the primordial soup has been called into question, and the presence of some molecules, oxygen for example, ceased all biological molecules from forming. We really don't know what the environment was, but the important thing to take away from the experiment is that it's absolutely possible for organic molecules to spring from a random collection of chemicals.\n\nOpponents of evolution like to use the idea of a typewriter factory exploding and forming a dictionary as an allegory for spontaneous creation of a cell. For a fully formed cell to be produced spontaneously certainly is impossible, one of the leading hypothosises is that, as with everything else in evolution, it started in steps, the explosion at the typewriter factory didn't for a dictionary, it formed a word. The first form of life was probably little else than some RNA molecule that managed to replicate, more advanced structures took more time to develop. Interestingly enough, it's now thought that mitochondria were an ancient bacteria that formed a symbiotic relationship with larger cells, a relationship that was so successful, all future life was based on it, this is why they still retain their own genetic information.

Here's a link to a list of inventions.  I'll leave you to figure out which ones are most important how they changed the world.\n\nhttp://www.crystalinks.com/chinainventions.html

No it was invented by Dr. James Naismith a white guy in 1891

If you're referring to spontaneous generation.  He had a contest with Felix Pouchet who believed in spontaneous generation.  Pasteur bent the necks of his flask so that dirt would be caught before it reached the broth and no bacteria arose.  This showed that bacteria were carried in dirt.

Alexander Fleming.  Folklore has it that he was a lazy scientist who failed to clean/wash his Petrie dishes.  On his return from a weekend, he found that a mould had formed on some of the dishes and that it had killed the germs close to it.   Thus, penicillin was discovered.

Keep the milk cold to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Pasteurization is a process which heats the milk up quickly to kill some of the bacteria in it. Then, keeping the milk cold and consuming it within a short period of time protects us from the bacteria until the milk goes sour. The smell of sour milk is our warning that too much bacteria has grown in it.

I could pretend to already know WHO invented the idea, even though I do know what it means, but instead I'll just give you the link to the Wikipedia article that tells you who came up with it:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-strategy\n\n\nHope that helps.

I'm not sure...but I think I recall him saying he invented it!

Everything you ever wanted to know about Peanut Butter can be found in an excellent article on Wikipedia (link below).\n\nIt should be noted that contrary to popular belief (and with apologies to the person who wrote above my entry), George Washington Carver DID NOT invent peanut butter, though he did many other interesting things with peanuts.

This process is known as Pasteurization, discovered by Louis Pasteur. In it, milk is heated upto 71 degrees celsius and then immediately cooled down. Then the temperature is kept constant. \nBy doing this, most of the bacteria are killed due to very high temperature. The growth of the remaining bacteria is retarded.

The widespread introduction of antiseptic surgical methods followed the publishing of the paper Antiseptic Principle of the Practice of Surgery in 1867 by Joseph Lister, inspired by Louis Pasteur's germ theory of putrefaction.
