fermentation

Noun

∙ Any of many anaerobic biochemical reactions in which an enzyme (or several enzymes produced by a microorganism) catalyses the conversion of one substance into another; especially the conversion (using yeast) of sugars to alcohol or acetic acid with the evolution of carbon dioxide biochemistry
∙ A state of agitation or excitement; a ferment.

fermentation
\fer`men*ta"tion\ (?), n. [cf. f. fermentation.]
1. the process of undergoing an effervescent change, as by the action of yeast; in a wider sense (physiol. chem.), the transformation of an organic substance into new compounds by the action of a ferment, either formed or unorganized. it differs in kind according to the nature of the ferment which causes it.
2. a state of agitation or excitement, as of the intellect or the feelings. it puts the soul to fermentation and activity. taylor. a univesal fermentation of human thought and faith. kingsley.

ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA - THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Fermentation
Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation is also used more broadly to refer to the bulk growth of microorganisms on a growth medium, often with the goal of producing a specific chemical product. French microbiologist Louis Pasteur is often remembered for his insights into fermentation and its microbial causes. The science of fermentation is known as zymology.
