Yeast, my friend. It eats sugar and (ahem) excretes CO2 and alcohol. It makes bread rise and beer fizz! It's no wonder in old days they called it "godisgood".
My grandmother lived this, she fell in the street once and refused quite physically being taken away in an ambulance.
Very much apocryphal.
Justus von Liebig, the father of organic chemistry, established that yeast is responsible for fermentation in 1840.
However he did not know that yeast was in fact a micro organism. That was first reported by Friedrich Wilhelm Lüdersdorff in 1856, one year before Pasteur started his own research.
The story went that the esteemed German scientists wanted to ensure that German beer was the best and didn't share some of the useful research. Pasteur then replicated the work to help teach everyone else.
It makes a great story even if total hogwash
Tracy Emin dons funeral shroud, marries stone ? The Register
Clearly she is mad enough to jump from art into high end audio cables!

Probably straight from Pasteur himself.
He was rather good at self-promotion and both fermentation and the anthrax vaccine were hotly contested by other french scientists claiming precedence.
Reading Pasteurs wiki page makes him seem like a Grade A A-hole not above fiddling with the evidence and bullying others to achieve fame & fortune.
What surprised me was that Justus von Liebig and a german railway engineer started up a company called Liebig's Extract of Meat Company (LEMCO) which in turn developed a cheaper version of the original extract which they marketed under the OXO name. They also sold corned beef under the brand name FRAY BENTOS.
May be I should take this opportunity to apologise for the german contribution to british cuisine. ;-)

Ownself use ownself as citation, except for the basic technical stuff which wouldn't need any citation (but citing it anyway to improve credibility?)
Just like the medical education industry

Graphene Speaker Cables
While I thought that Graphene only work in very thin wires and conductors, there are now Graphene speaker cables.
A forum thread:
Cerious Graphene Extreme ICs..
