(... חיים עזריאל ויצמן ... Хаим Евзорович Вейцман ... 27 November 1874 – 9 November 1952) As a biochemist, Weizmann is considered to be the 'father' of industrial fermentation. He developed the acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation process, which produces acetone, n-butanol and ethanol through bacterial fermentation. His acetone production method was of great importance in the manufacture of cordite explosive propellants for the British war industry during World War I.[1]
