Eduard Buchner

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.
Buchner, Eduard 

Born May 20, 1860, in Munich; died Aug. 13, 1917, in Focşani, Rumania. German chemist; worked with A. Baeyer.

From 1893 to 1911, Buchner was a professor in Kiel, Berlin, Breslau (Wrocńaw), and Würzburg. He discovered pyrazole in 1889. In 1897, using compression, he obtained from yeast a juice that contains no living cells but is able to stimulate vigorous fermentation. In this same way a juice that stimulates lactic and acetic fermentation was later obtained from other organisms. These works showed that fermentation can take place without the participation of lower organisms. Buchner won the Nobel Prize in 1907.
