(2) alcohol 

Yeast is a single-celled fungus that has been used in the production of alcohol for centuries. It’s estimated that more than half of all alcoholic beverages are produced using yeast. Yeast converts sugars from the fermentation process into alcohol, making it an essential ingredient for any alcoholic drink. To make wine, beer, and other types of alcoholic beverages, yeast needs to be added to a mixture containing sugar and water. The yeast will then convert these sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide gas while creating an acidic environment to kill off any bacteria or other microorganisms in the mixture. This process is known as fermentation.

Streptomycin is an antibiotic that Selman Waksman discovered in 1943. Streptomycin is the first antibiotic found with a broad spectrum of activity against many bacteria, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
