How did Pasteur prove germ theory?
In 1857 Pasteur's research showed that the souring of sugar beet in fermenting industrial alcohol was due to germs. He went on to prove that there were germs in the air. He proved sterilised water in a closed flask stayed sterile, whilst sterilised water in an open flask bred germs.
