The following chapters are based on courses of lectures delivered at the London University and the Royal Institution during 1909-1910. In them an account is given of the work done on alcoholic fermentation since Buchner's epoch-making discovery of zymase, only in so far as it...
The analysis of the process of alcoholic fermentation by yeast-juice and other preparations from yeast which has been carried out in the preceding chapters has shown that the ph...
9. CHAPTER VIII.It has long been the opinion of chemists that the remarkable and almost quantitative conversion of sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide during the process of fermentation is mo...
3. CHAPTER II.The history of Buchner's discovery is of great interest [Gruber, 1908; Hahn, 1908]. As early as 1893 Hans and Eduard Buchner found that the cells of even the smallest micro-orga...
4. CHAPTER III.In the course of some preliminary experiments (commenced by the late Allan Macfadyen, but subsequently abandoned) on the production of anti-ferments by the injection of yeast-ju...
2. CHAPTER I.The problem of alcoholic fermentation, of the origin and nature of that mysterious and apparently spontaneous change which converted the insipid juice of the grape into stimulat...
8. CHAPTER VII.When pure yeast is allowed to develop in a solution of sugar containing a suitable nitrogenous diet and the proper mineral salts, the liquid at the close of the fermentation con...
6. CHAPTER V.One of the most interesting and at the same time most difficult problems concerning enzyme action in general is the nature of the inhibiting or accelerating effect produced by m...
5. CHAPTER IV.In the previous chapter reference was made to the fact that the addition of boiled yeast-juice greatly increases the amounts of carbon dioxide and alcohol formed from sugar by t...
7. CHAPTER VI.An observation of remarkable interest, which promises to throw light on several important features of the biochemistry of yeast, was made in 1911, and has since then formed the...
1. Part II.--Synthesis, etc. Second Edition,The following chapters are based on courses of lectures delivered at the London University and the Royal Institution during 1909-1910. In them an account is given of the work do...
