Possible Mechanism of Co-Flocculation Beteeen Non-Flocculent yeasts

摘要

Co-flocculation between cells of S. cerevisiae NCRC 234 and NCRC 1109, both of which were non-flocculent when cultivated in YM medium for 20 h, was investigated by chemical modification. Ca~2+ promoted co-flocculation. Protein-denaturants and several carbohydrates caused reversible Inhibition of the co-flocculation in the presence of Ca~2+
