n-Butanol and Acetone: Maize Mash Fermented by Weizmann's Bacteria
Weizmann's fermentation (US 1,315,585, 1919) turns maize starch into butyl alcohol and acetone. The bacteria live on the grain itself: you catch them by fermenting many small maize-mash cultures, keeping the ones that smell most strongly of butyl alcohol, and heating each subculture to 90–100 °C for a minute or two so that only their heat-proof spores survive. The finished culture ferments a sterilised mash of 100 parts maize meal in 1500 of water in about two days, and the mash is then distilled.

Make about 100 tubes of hot (90–100 °C), dilute (about 2 %), sterile maize mash, add a little raw maize meal to each, and let them ferment at about 35–37 °C for four to five days.

Choose the tubes that ferment most vigorously and smell most strongly of butyl alcohol. Heat them to 90–100 °C for one to two minutes: most bacteria die, but the wanted heat-resisting spores survive.

Inoculate a fresh sterilised maize mash with the heated culture. When it has grown, heat it to 90–100 °C for one to two minutes and use it to inoculate the next mash. Repeat 100 to 150 times. Air need not be kept out.
