Some ffects of increased total pressure on yeast were reported by Lieske and Hoffman (6). They found that fermentation in a pressure chamber ceased when the partial pressure of ’CO_~ reached 38 to 40 arm. or the concentration of alcohol reached 40 g. per liter. When they used an initial inert pressure of 90 arm. no retardation of fermentation was evident, but at 150 arm. a distinct retardation was evident. At 1000 arm. initial inert pressure the quantity of CO~ and alcohol produced was halved, but fermentation otherwise seemed normal.
