Abstract□This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Korean ginseng extracts and their fractions on the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces uvarum, their glucose consumption and alcohol production. The growth of both
yeasts
were stimulated by ginseng extracts and their water soluble fractions. but were supressed by ether extracts and an n-butanol extracts. Their growth were enhanced considerably by low molecular weight fractions (<1,00) in water solubles. Similar
results
were also obtained with glucose consumption by yeasts. Substances increasing the growth and glucose consumption by yeasts proved to be a low molecular weight fractions (<1,000) in water solubles not saponins. The production of n-propyl alcohol by
yeast
was enhanced by adding ginseng extracts into the media, but that of iso-butyl alcohol was suppressed at same condition.
