Abstract
Fermentation of glucouse, gluconate, and xylose under statical and aerobical conditions was carried out by hetero- and homoferment-ers, and series of fermentation formulas were proposed.
No noticeable difference between homo- and hetero-fermenters was pointed out, except the mode of statical decomposition of glucose which is already known. This well known difference was considered to be due to different types of metabolism during the early stage; glycolysis of the hetero-fermeter would proceed via Warburg-Dickens' scheme instead of Embden-Meyerhof's route, and a scheme of fermentation of lactic acid bacteria was proposed.
