Yeast flocculation: reconciliation of physiological and genetic viewpoints.
Yeast (Chichester, England) - 1 Jan 1992

Abstract excerpt
Yeast flocculation results from surface expression of specific proteins (lectins). Two flocculation phenotypes were suggested by physiological and biochemical tests, whereas genetic data suggested a larger number of mechanisms of flocculation. After reviewing the biochemistry, physiology and genetics of flocculation, a new hypothesis combining the data available from these different sources, is proposed....
