Who paid Louis Pasteur?
The Austrian Government awarded Pasteur the 5,000 Florins they had offered as a reward to anyone who could solve the silkworm problem. The work he carried out on silkworm diseases left him eager, despite now suffering from health issues of his own, to apply the lessons he had learned to human health.
What did Louis Pasteur invent and what did he invent?
What did Louis Pasteur invent? Louis Pasteur is best known for inventing the process that bears his name, pasteurization. Pasteurization kills microbes and prevents spoilage in beer, milk, and other goods. In his work with silkworms, Pasteur developed practices that are still used today for preventing disease in silkworm eggs.

In 1849 he married Marie Laurent, the daughter of the rector of the University of Strasbourg, where Pasteur was a professor of chemistry. They had five children together, only two of whom survived to adulthood.

He completed the first test on April 20, 1862. Today the process is known as pasteurization. Shifting focus, in 1865, Pasteur helped save the silk industry. He proved that microbes were attacking healthy silkworm eggs, causing an unknown disease]
What did Louis Pasteur find out about pebrine?
Silkworms with pébrine were covered in corpuscles. In the first three years, Pasteur thought that the corpuscles were a symptom of the disease. In 1870, he concluded that the corpuscles were the cause of pébrine (it is now known that the cause is a microsporidian). Pasteur also showed that the disease was hereditary.
