The first work reports the 'first demonstration of the connection between a specific fermentation and the activity of a specific living micro-organism. This paper is often considered the beginning of bacteriology as a modern science' (G&M). With the other volumes, there is a collection of fundamental papers on fermentation, including: "Mémoire sur la Fermentation appelée lactique" and "M_x001D_émoire sur la fermentation alcoolique" in Annales de Chimie et de Physique "Nouvelles recherches sur la fermentation alocoolique" "Nouveaux faits concernant l'histoire de la fermentation alcoolique" "Nouveaux faits relatifs à la fermentation alcoolique, cellulose et matières grasses de la levure constituées aux dépens du sucre"
