Emil Christian Hansen (May 8, 1842 – August 27, 1909) was a Danish mycologist and fermentation physiologist. Born in Ribe, he financed his education by writing novels. He was awarded a gold medal in 1876 for an essay on fungi, titled ''De danske Gjødningssvampe''.〔(Encyclopedia.com ) (biography)〕 During his days as a university student in Copenhagen, he worked as an unpaid assistant to zoologist Japetus Steenstrup (1813–1897). In 1876, with Alfred Jørgensen (1848–1925), he published a Danish translation of Charles Darwin’s "The Voyage of the Beagle"; ''Rejse om Jorden''. From 1879 to 1909, he was director of the physiological department at Carlsberg Laboratory.〔(Darwinarkivet ) (biographical information)〕 Employed by the Carlsberg Laboratory in Copenhagen, he discovered that yeast was composed of different kinds of fungi and that the yeast culture could be cultivated. He isolated a pure cell of yeast, and after combining it with a sugary solution, produced more yeast than was in a yeast bank. It was known as ''Saccharomyces carlsbergensis'', and is used in lager beers.〔(NCBI ) The dynamics of the Saccharomyces carlsbergensis brewing yeast transcriptome〕 See Fermentation, Yeast. Hansen is the taxonomic authority of the fungal genus ''Anixiopsis'' (1897) from the family Onygenaceae.〔( Encyclopedia of Life ) Anixiopsis〕 == Publications by Hansen that have been translated into English == * Practical studies in fermentation: being contributions to the life history of micro-organisms, 1896. * Considerations on Technical Mycology, 1905.〔(WorldCat Search ) (publications)〕 == Literature and references == * Clausen, N.Hjelte (1932) Emil Christian Hansen, pp. 161–164 in: Meisen, V.
