Abstract
Penicillin and neomycin are the only two of the eleven antibiotics investigated that are sufficiently active, against gram-positive bacterial contaminants of brewer's yeast, to be considered as being of practical value. Some of the others are bacteriostatic to these organisms in wort but are not active, at the concentration levels studied, during a fermentation. The rate of fermentation is not affected by high concentrations of penicillin and neomycin.Keywords
