Louis Pasteur's experiments were the most conclusive in disproving spontaneous generation. He demonstrated that microorganisms did not arise spontaneously, but rather from preexisting microorganisms. Redi, Spallanzani, Needham, and Virchow also contributed to the development of the theory of biogenesis, but Pasteur's experiments with sterilized broth and curved-neck flasks definitively proved the theory.
