The effects influence of a coliform bacterium on fermentation by yeast
Hopped wort (20°C) was inoculated with brewing yeast alone (107 cells/ml), or with Citrobacter freundii (105 cells/ml) or with both organisms at the concentrations stated. The mixture grew somewhat more quickly than the pure yeast culture, the oxidation-reduction potential and S.G. fell more quickly but the pH less rapidly. The mixed culture produced more ethanol and various organic acids but less volatile carbon. Dimethyl sulphide was produced in the mixed culture but not in the pure yeast culture. It is concluded that C. freundiican have a profound influence on yeast fermentation, consistent with its pure culture characteristics.

Abstract

Hopped wort (20°C) was inoculated with brewing yeast alone (107 cells/ml), or with Citrobacter freundii (105 cells/ml) or with both organisms at the concentrations stated. The mixture grew somewhat more quickly than the pure yeast culture, the oxidation-reduction potential and S.G. fell more quickly but the pH less rapidly. The mixed culture produced more ethanol and various organic acids but less volatile carbon. Dimethyl sulphide was produced in the mixed culture but not in the pure yeast culture. It is concluded that C. freundiican have a profound influence on yeast fermentation, consistent with its pure culture characteristics.
