Speaking of, spontaneous generation was a theory on the origin of certain forms of life that was codified by aristotle and taken to be fact until the 19th century. Louis Pasteurs desire to verify a man named Francisco Redi's experiments and hypothesis (that maggots, in fact, came from fly eggs too small to see)... and to answer Redi's critics (who contended the absence of oxygen in those experiments accounted for the lack of spontaneous generation) designed a task specific flask that would allow oxygen but trap microorganisms...and this work lead directly to his interest and confidence in the pasteurization process.
