  1. 3.1 Spontaneous Generation

    In 1745, John Needham (1713-1781) published a report of his own experiments, in which he briefly boiled broth infused with plant or animal matter, hoping to kill all preexisting microbes. 2 He then sealed the flasks. After a few days, Needham observed that the broth had become cloudy and a single drop contained numerous microscopic creatures. He argued that the new microbes must have arisen ...

  2. 2.1 Spontaneous Generation

    In 1745, John Needham (1713-1781) published a report of his own experiments, in which he briefly boiled broth infused with plant or animal matter, hoping to kill all preexisting microbes. [2] He then sealed the flasks. After a few days, Needham observed that the broth had become cloudy and a single drop contained numerous microscopic creatures.

  3. JOHN NEEDHAM (1713-1781)

    JOHN NEEDHAM (1713-1781) John Needham is the English scientist who performed experiments on spontaneous generation or abiogenesis in mutton broth and hay infusions. Needham showed that mutton broth boiled in flask and then sealed could still develop microorganisms, which supported the theory of spontaneous generation.

    The Spallanzani experiment was a replication of the Needham experiment, but with a few important changes. The Spallanzani experiment used aseptic techniques, by boiling the experimental mixture ...

  6. Spontaneous Generation: Definition, Examples, Theory

    John Needham, 1731-1781. Over 100 years later, John Needham, an English naturalist and an avid supporter of spontaneous generation theory, performed an experiment in which he boiled up a broth and poured it into a covered flask—at this time, people were aware that the process of boiling removed the microorganisms that they called ...

  7. 1.2 Spontaneous Generation

    In 1745, John Needham (1713-1781) published a report of his own experiments, in which he briefly boiled broth infused with plant or animal matter, hoping to kill all preexisting microbes. [2] He then sealed the flasks. After a few days, Needham observed that the broth had become cloudy and a single drop contained numerous microscopic creatures.

  8. The Spontaneous-Generation Debate

    The claims of Needham and Buffon did not, however, stand unchallenged for very long. When the Italian physiologist Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799) repeated Needham's experiments, he obtained conflicting results. Spallanzani, who had studied philosophy, theology, law, and mathematics, was appointed professor of logic, metaphysics, and Greek at ...

    John Turberville Needham. 1713-1781. English Naturalist. The English naturalist John Needham conducted a series of experiments that seemed to provide proof of spontaneous generation—the sudden appearance of organisms from nonliving materials.His work spurred that of Italian scientist Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799), who conducted similar experiments, but had opposite results.

  11. Experiments in support and against Spontaneous Generation

    The experiments of Needham appeared irrefutable until the Italian physiologist Lazzaro Spallanzani repeated them and obtained conflicting results. He published his findings around 1775, claiming that Needham had not heated his tubes long enough, nor had he sealed them in a satisfactory manner.

    Figure 4a: Needham's spontaneous generation experiment. Needham heated the broth, let it sit uncovered for several days, then observed microorganisms in the fluid. In Needham's mind, this finding suggested that the lifeless broth had given rise to life.

  13. Is Spontaneous Generation Real?

    The Needham and the Spallanzani experiments were additional experiments that were conducted to help disprove spontaneous generation. The Pasteur experiment was the most famous experiment conducted that disproved spontaneous generation that was accepted by the majority of the scientific community. Pasteur demonstrated that bacteria appearing in ...

    John Needham adds chick broth to a flask and boils it, lets it cool and waits. Microbes grow and he proposes it as an example of spontaneous generation. 1768: Lazzaro Spallanzani repeats Needham's experiment, but removes all the air from the flask. No growth occurs. 1859: Louis Pasteur's swan-neck flasks show that spontaneous generation does ...

    John Turberville Needham FRS (10 September 1713 - 30 December 1781) was an English biologist and Roman Catholic priest.. He was first exposed to natural philosophy while in seminary school and later published a paper which, while the subject was mostly about geology, described the mechanics of pollen and won recognition in the botany community.. He did experiments with gravy and later ...

Buffon's own system of organic particles and internal molds had been formulated as early as 1746.5 The sub-sequent collaboration between Needham and Buffon in the spring of 1748 was of immense benefit to both.

  17. John Needham

    John Needham (born September 10, 1713, London, England—died December 30, 1781, Brussels, Belgium) was an English naturalist and Roman Catholic divine, the first clergyman of his faith to become a fellow of the Royal Society of London (1768).. He was ordained in 1738 but spent much of his time as a teacher and tutor. His reading about animalcules (microscopic organisms) aroused an interest in ...

  18. Origin of Life: Spontaneous Generation

    Several experiments have been conducted to disprove spontaneous generation; a few of them are covered in the sections that follow. Redi's Experiment and Needham's Rebuttal. In 1668, Francesco Redi, an Italian scientist, designed a scientific experiment to test the spontaneous creation of maggots by placing fresh meat in each of two different jars.

  19. Spontaneous Generation

    The prize was claimed in 1864 by Louis Pasteur, as he published the results of an experiment he did to disproved spontaneous generation in these microscopic organisms. Observation(s): From Needham's and Spallanzani's experiments, it was known that soup that was exposed to the air spoiled — bacteria grew in it. Containers of soup that had been ...

    Another biologist, John Needham performed an experiment in 1745 to test spontaneous generation. He took some nutrient-dense broth which ought to support life, boiled it, and then sealed the broth ...
