He formulated the fundamental law: asymmetry differentiates the organic world from the mineral world - symmetric molecules are always the product of life forces (Hyperlab, 2004; Rhee, 2004). Pasteur then moved to the University of Strasbourg and continued his studies of molecular symmetry (Cohn, 1996). In 1854, he was appointed Dean and professor of chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences in Lille. Pasteur was asked by a local brewer to help him find out why alcohol becomes contaminated with unwanted substances during the fermentation process (Hyperlab, 2004). He found that each type of fermentation is caused by a specific microorganism, this idea forming the basis of microbiology. Pasteur identified and isolated the microorganisms responsible for normal and abnormal fermentation in the production of beer, wi
