    He did a simple experiment leaving raw meat in diferent conditions. This experiment showed that meat did not produce flys but atracted them.

    He didn't agree at all with Redi's experiment so he did the same with broth. Since the microorganisms had already been discovered he made use of that and calsed a steryle borth in a flask. Days later he checked and found microorganism confirming his theory

    Years later Sapallani did again this experiment but with properly sterilized material and found out that as Redi proved life does not appear out of thin air. Then when he opened the broth, quickly bacterias entered, this left us with a question, does air currents make and bring life?

    Pasteur wanted to finaly probe wrong the spontaneous generation theory and made a special flask with a swan neck wich allowed to have an air flow but that bacetries and miroorganisms to saty out of the broth. This genious invention worked out and proved the spontaneous generation theory wrong.
