PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL BY MEANS OF YEAST 



The mean values are 26.85 an d 77- From these we cal- 

 culate the value of ^ = 15,607. By means of this value 

 Aberson calculated his other experiments, and found an 

 excellent agreement with the observations. As illustra- 

 tion the following figures may be cited : 



In many cases the quantity of yeast was augmented by 

 cellular multiplication during the experiment; in such 

 cases a correction for this circumstance was applied. The 

 quantity of glucose, as well as that of the reaction-products, 

 had an influence upon the constant, whereby the deviation 

 of the velocity of reaction from that valid for monomolecu- 

 lar reactions may be explained.
