For example, cell-free fermentations were first discovered in the late nineteenth century/early twentieth century by Eduard Buchner in the attempt to elucidate the mechanism behind alcoholic fermentation of yeast cells [40]. This opened the door to the possibility of using individual enzymes to produce chemicals such as ethanol from reconstituted enzymes [41] and was a seminal study in establishing biochemistry as a field. Specifically, Buchner s work led to discoveries of how intricate metabolisms of different organisms function, as well as opening the aperture to our ability to engineer metabolism for the targeted synthesis of biochemicals.
