He writes on the behaviour of urea solely as a nutrient substance, his experimental method, methods of determining the organic and inorganic nitrogen, the organisms causing the fermentation, the chemistry of the earlier steps of fermentative change and the chemistry of more advanced stages of fermentative changes.
