Pasteur in his study. French microbiologist and chemist Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) found that fermentation is caused by micro-organisms,and also proposed the germ theory of disease. He developed a vaccine against rabies,which led to the founding of the Pasteur Institute in 1888. He discovered the anthrax bacterium and developed a vaccine against it. He also discovered that gentle heating of wine and beer preserves them from souring. Called pasteurisation,this is now widely used in the food industry.
