Season 3, Episode 7 - Yeast and Alcohol with Professor Graeme Walker
Why is yeast the most popular microorganism? Because it’s a fun guy! In this episode we talk with Dr. Graeme Walker from Abertay University in Scotland. He is a professor of zymology – in other words, he studies yeasts and fermentation. His focus over the years has been fermentation for alcoholic beverages, distilled spirits, and biofuels – many of which (but not all) use cereal grain as a substrate. His recent work has been investigating non-cereal substrates for fermentation. Graeme’s contact information can be found at his faculty webpage at Abertay University. If you would like to...
