Another very well known example of the use of micro‐organisms is the production of alcohol by yeast fermentation
Our Alcohol Fermentation Kit looks at fermentation in detail comparing the Anaerobic and Aerobic processes, and monitoring both the cell mass (biomass) changes and volume of alcohol produced
It also includes setting up an immobilised cell system for comparative purposes
