    acid, certain intermediate products being formed: thus, with (1) Yeast (Mycoderma cerevisice): Glucose. Alcohol. Carbonic acid. C6H,206 + 2H20 = 202H60 + 2CH208 (2) Lactic acid ferment (Bacterium lacticum): Lactose. Water. Glucose. Lactic acid. OuH^On + H20 = 2C6H1208 + 4C3H603 (3) Butyric acid ferment (Baccillus subtilis): Lacid° Wat- BacTdriC QSa° H^°seU- 2C3H6Os + 2H20 = C4Hd02 + 2CHA + H4 (4) Urea fermentation (Micrococcus urece): TT ,,r . Ammonium Urea. Water. c,donate. CH4N20 + 2H20 = (NH)2COs In the second group, the process of fermentation is from anhydrides into hydrates. These ferments formed in the animal body have been called enzymes, and their action designated as enzymosis, and their nature as enzymic. They may be thus enumerated : (1) Ptyalin : Starch. Water. Dextrin. Glucose. 2C„H10O6 + H20 = 06Hlf,05 + C^A (2) Pepsin pancreatin : Albumin + n(H20) = Peptone + Leucin + Tyrosin t- Indol, etc. (3) Pancreatic fat ferment: Suet Water. Stearic acid. Glycerin. C57HnA + 3H,0 = 3C18HM02 + CSHA
