Abstract excerpt
The floc-forming ability of flocculent strains of Zygosaccharomyces bailii and Z. fermentati, isolated from musts, was tested for susceptibility to proteinase and sugar treatments. Z. fermentati was found highly resistant to the proteolytic enzymes tested, whereas Z. baili was only trypsin-resistant. The inhibition of flocculation by sugars distinguished two types: in Z. fermentati flocculation was completely...
