Summary
The influence of glucose concentration and aeration rate on the flocculation ability ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. A low aeration rate exerted a positive effect on flocculation whereas a high aeration inhibited this phenomenon. A positive effect was achieved with a high glucose concentration. By controlling both of these factors it was possible to modulate the flocculation expression of this strain.
