The answer is Louis Pasteur. The scientist which sought to disprove Needham’s experimental method by boiling his broth in a sealed container first, as he believed the broth was contaminated by microorganisms before it was sealed. His hypothesis is that " Microbes do not arise spontaneously from non-living matter, but are produced only by other, living microbes."
