Maria Manasseina and Buchner[edit]

The idea that Buchner was the first to discover the possibility of fermentation in the absence of live yeast cells is widespread. Unfortunately, it is incorrect. Same experiment was done in 1871 by Maria Manasseina in Vienna. Buchner knew about her work, but he didn't cite it in his publications. Fortunately, Arthur Harden mentioned her work in his book Alcoholic Fermentation, p. 15, published in 1914, so she was not completely wiped out of the history of biochemistry. In recent years interest to her works has increased significantly, as she made an outstanding contribution to somnology, too. See more details in Kovalzon's paper and related references.
