Challenge was overcome via advance in biochemistry and microscopy. Bacteria (true bacteria used to be called prokaryotes) Majority of them have a cell wall with peptidoglycan. Cyanobacteria produce significant amounts of oxygen > plants. Spontaneous generation = the theory that living creatures could arise without parents. Placed nutrient solutions in flasks with long, curved necks. Boiled the solutions and then broke neck of one flask. Results: no growth of microorganisms in swan necked flasks.
