During the Erasmus+ 2025 week in Vienna we carried out experiments on the enzymatic degradation and fermentation of cellulose and starch in internationally mixed small groups. Thanks to presentations from students from Vienna, Hungary, Poland and India (online), we learned about the theoretical background of the experiment. After adding the enzymes cellulase and amylase respectively we measured the increasing concentration of glucose photometrically. As expected, an increase could be observed in every group. After adding yeast, the fermentation was measured by a decrease of the glucose concentration. The experiment was completed by an intense discussion of the results.
