Abstract
THE increasing industrial importance of propionie acid for the preparation of esters and ketones (methylethyl- and diethyl-ketone), and for application in the cellulose industry, led the author to submit the group of propionic acid bacteria to a thorough re-investigation, the results of which are contained in this monograph.
