Wherever it is you are getting these "facts", do yourself a favor and stop.
What Pasteur discovered was wrong was the theory of "spontaneous generation", which was a competing theory of biogenesis, which is now known as abiogenesis (and which we know a hell of a lot more about than Pasteur or Darwin ever dreamed of).
They are not the same thing. I repeat, they are not the same thing. They are different, competing ideas, and spontaneous generation lost to abiogenesis.
Whoever told you that Pasteur debunked abiogenesis lied to you.
I do not have a clue how you could possibly think "spontaneous generation lost to abiogenesis," when the terms are synonyms. The theory of spontaneous generation and the theory of abiogenesis are one and the same. Both expressions refer to life coming to life from non-life, by itself. That is what Darwin proposed and what Louis Pasteur debunked.
DEFINITION OF ABIOGENESIS:
"The supposed development of living organisms from nonliving matter. Also called autogenesis, spontaneous generation."

DEFINITION OF "SPONTANEOUS GENERATION":
"the theory, now discredited, that living organisms can originate in nonliving matter independently of other living matter; abiogenesis"
