CHAPTER IV.

THE GROWTH OF DIFFERENT ORGANISMS IN A STATE OF PURITY: THEIR AUTONOMY.

§ I. Growth of _Penicillium glaucum_ and _Aspergillus glaucus_ in a

state of purity.—Proofs that these fungoid growths do not become

transformed into the alcoholic ferments of beer or wine.—Preliminary

inquiry into the cause of fermentation 86

§ II. Growth of _Mycoderma vini_ in a state of purity.—Confirmation of

our original conjectures as to the cause of fermentation.—_Mycoderma

vini_ does not change into yeast, although it may give rise to

fermentation 108

§ III. Growth of _Mycoderma aceti_ in a state of purity 121

§ IV. Growth of _Mucor racemosus_ in a state of purity.—Example of life

more active and lasting when removed from the influence of air 127
