If fruit juices or sugar solutions are left to stand in the open air, they show after a few days the processes which are covered by the name of fermentation phenomena.
We allowed ourselves to become particularly interested in research into the appearance of intermediate products of sugar decomposition during cell-free fermentation.
Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel prize.
