	Louis Pasteur - MSN Encarta
		Pasteur was born in Dôle on December 27, 1822, the son of a tanner, and grew up in the small town of Arbois.
		Pasteur concluded that organic molecules can exist in one of two forms, called isomers (that is, having the same structure and differing only in mirror images of each other), which he referred to as “left-handed” and “right-handed” forms.
		Pasteur concluded that the latter was always the case.

	Louis Pasteur
		Pasteur was able to show that the worms fed on diseased smeared leaves got the disease, whereas those fed on uncontaminated leaves remained disease free.
		Pasteur worked throughout the rest of his life on the various causes of diseases and how these could be prevented by vaccination.
		Pasteur is particularly renowned for his work on the vaccine for rabies, a highly contagious infection which attacks the central nervous system.

	Life and Times of Louis Pasteur
		Pasteur served on the faculty of science of Dijon for a brief period and then was transferred to Strasbourg University where he continued his studies on molecular asymmetry.
		Pasteur's studies on contamination of wine and beer by airborne yeast clearly stimulated certain investigators to recognize that these "diseases" were due to entry of foreign microorganisms.

		Louis Pasteur (December 27, 1822 – September 28, 1895) was a French microbiologist and chemist.

		Pasteur's work gave birth to many branches of science, and he was singlehandedly responsible for some of the most important theoretical concepts and practical applications of modern science.
		Pasteur's achievements seem wildly diverse at first glance, but a more in-depth look at the evolution of his career indicates that there is a logical order to his discoveries.
		As a student at the Ecole Normale, Pasteur observed that the organic compound tartrate, when synthesized in a laboratory, was optically inactive (unable to rotate the plane of polarized light), unlike the tartrate from grapes, because the synthetic tartrate is composed of two optically asymmetric crystals.

		Louis Pasteur was born in 1822 in Dole, France.

		Pasteur's studies of fermentation began in Lille when he was approached by an industrialist disturbed because undesirable products often appeared during the fermentation of sugar into alcohol by yeast.
		Pasteur claimed that types of microbes could be separated from each other by proper techniques, and could be shown to differ in nutritional requirements and in their susceptibility to antiseptics.
		Pasteur became preoccupied with the origin of microorganisms and demonstrated that each microbe is derived from a pre-existing microbe, and that spontaneous generation does not occur.
