Abstract excerpt
An improved lectin assay was recently developed to determine the density of lectin sites present on the surface of a haploid strain 1209 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibiting the Flo1 phenotype. The assay is based on the use of FITC-avidin which contains a mannose side chain which functions as a binding site to the cell wall lectins termed zymolectins. An examination of the effect of culture time on the...
