Francesco Redi
Redi went on to demonstrate that dead maggots or flies would not generate new flies when placed on rotting meat in a sealed jar, whereas live maggots or flies would. This disproved both the existence of some essential component in once-living organisms, and the necessity of fresh air to generate life. -
John Needham
Needham established from his observations that micro-organisms do not grow from eggs and proposed a theory of spontaneous generation whereby living organisms develop from non-living matter at the microscopic level. -
Lazzaro Spallanzani
Spallanzani is well known for one of his major works on microscopical observation that concerned the systems of spontaneous generation -

Louis Pasteur
He pioneered the study of molecular asymmetry; discovered that microorganisms cause fermentation and disease; originated the process of pasteurization; saved the beer, wine, and silk industries in France; and developed vaccines against anthrax and rabies. -
Stanley Miller and Harold Urey
They found that organic molecules could be spontaneously produced under reducing conditions thought to resemble those of early Earth. -
Lynn Margulis
She formulated the symbiotic theory of evolution (SET), which deals with the interconnection of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (cells with nuclei), explaining the emergence of new species by a mechanism known as “symbiogenesis”. -
