Fermentor or Fermenter?

I am under the impression that a fermenter is a simple sugar that yeast ferments, and a fermentor is a vessel for fermentation.

What do you say?

I say that fermenter is a vessel in which fermentation occurs in, and fermentor is a misspelling of fermenter.

Cheers,

Those seem like the definitions.

 

[terrapinj]

fermenter = yeast - they do the work

fermentor = vessel that fermentation takes place in


per Chris White and Jamil Z in Yeast

 

[LVBen]

Based on several dictionaries,

Fermenter is both the vessel and the organism, and fermentor is a misspelling.
