 mentation not necessarily equal to Growth of Yeast 

 Enzyme or Unorganized Ferment a Secondary Function 

 Function depends partly on Organism, partly on Medium in 

 which it is Growing Peptonizing Function usually requires 

 presence of Oxygen Various kinds of Fermentation : Lactic, 

 Urea, Butyric, Ammoniacal, Acetic Formation of Fatty 

 Acids Mycoderma Aceti General Processes of Fermenta-
