| Date | 1826 |
| Author | Desmazieres |
| Contribution | Described and illustrated yeast cells (the Mycoderma spp. of Persoon). |
| Reference | Lechevalier |
| Notes | Considered them to be animalcules. Did not propose role in fermentation. See 1822 & 1827. Lechevalier (and Solotorovsky) give date as 1827; they mention this contribution in a footnote on p. 22 -- but their Index lists Desmazieres only for p. 116 (on which there seems to be no mention of it!). |
