Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The ultimate way by which microbes will have the “last word”, as Pasteur had said.
Introduction:
Microorganisms have been living and thriving on Earth since millions of years before humans. They have developed special features that allow them to survive even in extremes of temperature, salt concentration and pH. They have the ability to adapt quickly according to the environmental challenge that they face.

John Tyndall mostly duplicated Pasteur's spontaneous generation experiments with the swan-necked flask: occasionally however, an experiment failed due to
A) Othe absence of nutrients
B) O the appearance of dust.
C) O the presence of fermentative microbes.
D) O the lack of oxygen.
E) O the presence of endospores.
Choose the false statement: (Regarding Pasteur’s famous experiment) The swan necked flasks were important because they allowed the broth to remain sterile, while still remaining open to the atmosphere. Pasteur’s work with the swan neck flasks was only of importance to the food industry; his work occurred long before anyone, including Pasteur, had any awareness that diseases could be caused by microscopic agents. The swan necked flasks were used to prove that life could only arise from pre-existing cells.
The Golden Age of Microbiology was the time whena) microorganisms were first used to make bread.b) microorganisms were first used to make cheese.c) most pathogenic bacteria were identified.d) a vaccine against influenza was developed.e) antibiotics became available.
