Does salt inhibit yeast fermentation or does it inhibit yeast growth?

In: Biology, Chemistry, Botany or Plant Biology [Edit categories]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's both, because while yeast and flour mixed with water smells alcoholic (which is a sign of fermentation), when it's mixed with yeast and water it smells like milk. Also, it barely grows, less than just yeast and water.

Correct me if I'm wrong!
