He was a scientist in 1864 who belived in biogenesis. He did a gravy experiment with a curved neck. So, air could get into the bottle, but no microscopic organisms could get in. Then, he broke the neck and airbourne organisms could get in proving that they were in the air and did not come from the gravy. He disproved spontaneous generation.
