For the entrepreneur interested in one day launching a craft distillery, this lecture starts with a basic overview of yeast and then moves on to explore the stages of the fermentation cycle (Lag phase, Exponential phase, Stationary phase and Decline phase). This course gives the participant valuable insight into the biochemical structure of the yeast cell including its inner organelles. The biochemical processes such as the EMP Pathway, the Pentose Phosphate Cycle and the Krebs Cycle are explored. This course concludes with a look at the bad and good aspects of bacterial cells.
