Summary
Cytoduction has been used to confer flocculation to a nonflocculent straint. The transfer of the chromosome I of a FLO5 strain in a recipient strain was enough to induce its flocculation. We observed by chromosome loss experiments that the loss of flocculation was correlated with the loss of chromosome I. It can be concluded from these observations that FLO5 is localized on chromosome I.
