What is recorded here?
Connected fermentation and spoilage to specific microbial activity, investigating how oxygen availability changes the relationship between growth and fermentation.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The date identifies the French book synthesized in 1876; WRS read selected sections of English translations, not every experiment or the original 1857 memoir. Claims tying fermentation necessarily to intact living cells require the later cell-free work to be read alongside them. Translators and experimental collaborators are distinct from the book’s author.
Read the original work
- Pasteur, Études sur la bière (1876); Studies on Fermentation, translated by Frank Faulkner and D. Constable Robb, Macmillan (1879)
