The following are the important achievements of Pasteur:
1, discovery of optical rotation, founder of stereochemistry. -Nobel Prize in Chemistry
2. The main founder and developer of bacterial theory made the principle of cell pathogenicity deeply rooted in people's hearts.
3. Invent rabies vaccine to cure rabies.
Invented the immune theory, that is, vaccine, which made the greatest contribution to prolonging human life span for 30 years.
5. It is found that fermentation is caused by yeast, which has made great contributions to the world wine industry.

Extended data:
Lactic acid bacteria:
Pasteur clarified the mystery of fermentation, and from then on Pasteur finally became a great microbiologist and the founder of microbiology.
At that time, the French beer industry was very famous in Europe, but beer often turned sour. The whole barrel of delicious beer turned into sour mucus and had to be dumped, which made the wine merchants complain and some even went bankrupt. 1865, the owner of a brewery in Lille asked Pasteur to help cure the disease of beer and see if a chemical could be added to prevent beer from turning sour.
Pasteur promised to study the problem. He observed under a microscope and found a spherical yeast cell in the liquid of aged wine and beer. When wine and beer turn sour, there will be lactobacillus in wine. It is this "bad guy" who breeds in nutritious beer and makes the beer "sick".
